  Through multiple, small unmanned probes we can more efficiently capture an
asteroid and return it to lunar orbit. The Asteroid Return and Exploration
System (ARES) aims to make use of previously tested technology with the
application of a new idea to satisfy a goal in the retrieval and the subsequent
exploration, classification and data acquisition of an asteroid that is
approximately 7 meters in diameter and 350,000 kilograms in mass. Research is
conducted according to mathematical analyses of the given data and extrapolated
variables.
