On June 18, NASA will host an event in which experts will provide details 
about NASA's asteroid initiative, including the observation campaign, the 
orbital tracking, robotic components, the human elements, and enhanced 
focus on planetary defense. We will describe our upcoming planning 
timeline and clearly identify opportunities and processes for providing 
input into our planning. During this public forum, NASA will also release a 
Request for Information (RFI) to seek new ideas for mission elements and 
describe the process for submitting your ideas to NASA so that NASA teams 
may consider your innovative solutions and/or participation.
