The research programme of Stardust reloaded project has four major innovative aspects: 1) it will combine computational intelligence, dynamical systems theory and orbital mechanics to quantify the uncertainty of rare, high risk events and correlate spatially and temporally distant incidents, 2) it will develop the concept of Space Traffic Management to improve the resilience of the space environment, 3) it will develop the concept of criticality of asteroids in view of future exploration, exploitation and deflection, 4) it will develop the concept of exploration with small spacecraft.
