CU Boulder and Lockheed Martin will lead a new space mission to capture the first-ever closeup look at a mysterious class of solar system objects: binary asteroids.
These bodies are pairs of asteroids that orbit around each other in space, much like the Earth and moon.

It will be a moment for twos…
