Example • Attachment/Anchoring Technologies • Suspending Weights • Bouldering Climber • Device Catapulted at a Wall • LEO Attachment Demonstration
Orbital Demonstration • LEO Attachment Demonstration • Use of Space Debris as an Asteroid Analog • Get to, Grab, Characterize, De-orbit Asteroid Mining Profile Launch Approach Rendezvous Extract Attach Redirect/ Planetary Defense Profile Collect Release Characterize Transfer Redirect
Reducing Barriers to Entry • Funding via investment and simplified relevant contracting • Visibility via Letters of Intent, retweets, and demonstration events • Coordinated Demonstrations • Asteroid Initiative Tech Roadmapping • Leverage economies of scale through demo consolidation • Opportunity for networking, engagement, incentives, investment, and building early momentum
