Abstract
A crewed mission to Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) would maximize the quality and the amount of returned information regarding scientific, technological, mitigation or resource utilization purposes. To effectively prepare such a mission, a robotic precursor should visit the asteroid target(s) to ensure its relevance and safety.
