More on object 1991VG
Here is the web page for the JPL small-body database for 1991VG, which is a possible Bracewell Probe candidate. My original post on this, titled The Sentinel, seems to be getting a lot of airplay, so I will be researching it further.
July of 2017 is our next launch window for either a crewed or robotic mission to 1991VG. Hopefully we'll have heavy lift capabilities available at that time.
