Low delta-V Near Earth Objects: a survey of suitable targets for space missions

Staff: E. Dotto, D. Perna, F. Bernardi, F. De Luise

The survey presents visible and near-infrared spectra of Near Earth Objects with extremely favorable accessibility from the Earth.
Due to their low delta-V (and short mission duration) these objects are suitable targets for space missions.
Data were acquired at TNG, ESO-NTT, ESO-VLT, and IRTF telescopes.
Please cite the data of 144898 2004 VD17 as published in the paper: De Luise et al. (2007) Icarus 191, 628-635.
All the other spectra here reported should be quoted as belonging to the paper: Dotto et al. (2011) in preparation.
