Description In March 2019 the Aerospace Centre of Excellence at Strathclyde proposed a new mission concept for the exploration of the solar system.The new concept, called NEOCORE, allows for the fast reconnaissance of a large number of Near Earth Asteroids that can be a potential threat for the Earth or an opportunity to collect insitu resources.The concept aim at launching a fleet of nano-satellites on a regular basis, into an orbit similar to the one of the Earth, and intercept asteroids at their nodal points.A preliminary analysis conducted in collaboration with ESA and with the French Space Agency has demonstrated that the concept is feasible and could lead to a new way to explore the solar system.This project aims at expanding the analyses previously completed by the Aerospace Centre and to study new launch opportunities. Key Objectives The key objectives of this project are: 1- Explore new launch opportunities using the trajectory design tools available in the Aerospace Centre 2- Select new target asteroids based on their level of risk and interest 3- Assess the feasibility of new launch opportunities and the associated launch cost 4- Assess which payload can be installed and which measurements can be acquired during the mission The project will require the use of Matlab and software written in Matlab.
