Acknowledgement
The study “Enabling Fast Response Missions to Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), Interstellar Objects (ISOs), and Long-Period Comets (LPCs)” was made possible by the W. M. Keck Institute for Space Studies, and by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (80NM0018D0004).
The study leads gratefully acknowledge the outstanding support of Michele Judd, Executive Director of the Keck Institute of Space Studies, as well as her dedicated staff, who made the study experience invigorating and enormously productive. Many thanks to Tom Prince and the KISS Steering Committee for seeing the potential of our concept and selecting it for further study. Study participant D.Z.S. acknowledges support by an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship under award AST-2202135. This research award is partially funded by a generous gift of Charles Simonyi to the NSF Division of Astronomical Sciences. The award is made in recognition of significant contributions to Rubin Observatory’s Legacy
Survey of Space and Time (LSST).
We thank all the workshop participants for their time, enthusiasm, and contributions to the workshop and this report. The workshop was a memorable experience and set the stage for fruitful collaborations between people who would likely not have crossed paths were it not for the Keck Institute for Space Studies.
