2020 GE is a small near-Earth asteroid (NEO). It is the target of the NEA Scout solar sail mission, which will launch as a secondary payload on the Artemis 1 mission, scheduled to launch November 16, 2022. The solar sail is expected to reach the asteroid in September 2023, and it will be the smallest asteroid ever visited by a spacecraft.
(NEA Scout failed and is already declared lost)
