Explore the critical aspects of rapid response in space missions through this 28-minute conference talk by Benjamin Donitz from JPL. Delve into the necessity of changing current formulation and implementation methods to accommodate swift action. Examine general timelines of detection-to-response and typical NASA mission concept development durations. Uncover key findings and challenges identified in rapid response studies. Gain insights into the potential of rapid response and its role in missions to Interstellar Objects (ISOs), Long-Period Comets (LPCs), and Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). Analyze whether missions to these celestial bodies are feasible without rapid response capabilities.
