Resumo: Space exploration is advancing so that by the next decade we will be colonizing Mars. Advances are needed in order to reduce costs, without reducing quality, so that it is possible to take people to the red planet. In this manuscript we will present the preliminary results of the research, which is in progress, which seeks to map the asteroids that transit close to Earth and Mars, especially those of the NEA type, in better conditions of use for transport using NASA’s Comet Hitchhiker concept. For this, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/NASA (JPL/NASA) Small Body Database Query interface is being used to analyze and filter candidates that fit the purpose of this research. This research was presented at the II Congress of the Exact Sciences Area.
