PROCYON is in the right trajectory too; the initial operations phase has begun.

Good idea for a separate thread for PROCYON; I've made one here.
Here's a good article on PROCYON posted today, as well as a paper mentioning some possible targets: 2000 DP107, 2010 LJ14 and 2002 AJ29. Via Twitter, radio astronomer Michael Busch says that 2000 DP107 is a binary asteroid studied extensively by radar in work led by Shantanu Naidu and Jean-Luc Margot. -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
