Hi,
Way too much stuff here to deal with all,
but I have a word about 2 Pallas as a
Carbonaceous parent body.
Pallas has a silicate spectrum. A great many
bodies do. It shows signs of olive and pyroxene,
with low iron and water. If it resembles any
Carbonaceous chondrite, it's a CR with no
Optical telescopes can have very wide fields of view and are relative
cheap to build and operate making them the obvious choice, especially
in this cash strapped era.
Most important, the photons are FREE.
Unlike all those expensive electrons you
have to buy for radar...

Hello Eric,
Will radar even work in space? If so, what's the range,
and how would it work?
Radar does indeed work in space. The Gemini mission used radar to practice
spacecraft rendezvous in preparation for the Apollo lunar landings. As
