Fantino et al. and Ma et al. tackle how to get to the asteroids- long-range, and short-range.

Liu, et al. instead consider which asteroids will be worthier or less worthy, relative to Ryugu- what did the Hayabusa2 instruments turn out to see, versus what we thought we were seeing? Characterizing a dot of light is not as straightforward as the rocket ride there.

And Kakavand et al., Elmer et al., and Xie et al. tackle what to do there- the dynamics of asteroid activities. Mathilde, Eros, Itokawa, Ryugu, and Bennu all had surprises; woe be he who assumes. Assumes like the Hayabusa1 lander teams, and even one of the teams for one of the Hayabusa2 landers, which failed.
