Near-Earth Object Human Space Flight Accessible Targets Study (NHATS)

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 14, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-04-01
This list of potential mission targets should not be interpreted as a complete list of viable NEAs for an actual human exploration mission. As the NEA orbits are updated, the viable mission targets and their mission parameters will change. To select an actual target and mission scenario, additional constraints must be applied including astronaut health and safety considerations, human space flight architecture elements, their performances and readiness, the physical nature of the target NEA and mission schedule constraints.
