Miniaturised Asteroid Remote Geophysical Observer

ESA’s M-ARGO is a standalone deep-space CubeSat being developed to rendezvous with and characterize a near-Earth asteroid. The 12-unit nanospacecraft uses its own electric propulsion and planned multispectral imaging and laser-altimetry observations; its launch remains a planned development milestone.
