Explore the fascinating world of asteroids and comets in this nearly two-hour conference talk from AGU. Delve into the significance of these "living fossils" as key sources of planet formation and their role in delivering water and organic materials to Earth. Learn about the latest scientific findings from JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission to asteroid Ryugu and NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission to asteroid Bennu. Discover how these carbonaceous asteroids provide crucial insights into the early Solar System and the conditions necessary for habitable planet formation. Gain an understanding of ongoing international efforts in small body exploration missions and their potential to uncover the origins of Earth's habitable environment. Hear from expert conveners and chairs from Nagoya University, JAXA, NASA Headquarters, and Auburn University as they present cutting-edge research on spacecraft missions to asteroids and comets.
