About this episode

The episode discusses the REMORA mission, which aims to use autonomous CubeSats to track and study near-Earth asteroids.

The proposed REMORA mission aims to deploy a fleet of autonomous CubeSats to track and study near-Earth asteroids up close. By combining self-navigating spacecraft with cost-effective technology, the project could improve our ability to detect, monitor, and understand potentially hazardous space rocks, strengthening future planetary defense efforts.
