Asteroid Redirect Mission at Critical Juncture

Three weeks after NASA completed a key milestone review of the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM),
the agency still has not officially announced the results. A NASA official indicated at a NASA
Advisory Council (NAC) meeting that the review revealed cost growth, forcing a reexamination of
its objectives versus the cost. An Obama Administration initiative, it is at a critical juncture
as the House Appropriations Committee denied funding earlier this year and President Obama’s term
in office comes to an end in just 5 months.
