Abstract We present the importance of the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) in the context of the Global Exploration Roadmap and NASA׳s strategy for sustainable human exploration. We also provide status toward baseline of the ARM, including evolution of concept development based on internal NASA analysis and risk reduction, as well as external inputs received. This includes development of mission concept options, key trade studies, and analysis of drivers for both the robotic and crewed mission segments.

    Highlights The integrated mission comprises demonstrations important for sustainable human exploration. Early in-space crewed/robotic mission operations in cis-lunar space are enabled by this mission. Robotic mission will provide substantial asteroid mass for astronaut visits.
