Problem Description

The problem proposed this year could be entitled:

"How to make a rendezvous mission to a given asteroid most worthwhile by visiting the largest number of other asteroids on the way?".
 

More precisely, let us assume that a spacecraft is launched from Earth.

The objective for this spacecraft is to visit (fly by) the maximum number of asteroids from a given list.

It must then rendezvous with a last asteroid (from that same list) within ten years after departure.
