The Marco Polo mission, currently under study in the context of ESA’s Cosmic Vision Program, is foreseen to rendezvous with a NEA (Near-Earth Asteroid) and to return a sample from it to Earth. Before sampling, the spacecraft will fly in formation with the asteroid to undertake a comprehensive study of the object by a host of remote sensing techniques.
