It would be a fascinating mission to punch into an asteroid and then let that asteroid carry the camera to the outer parts of the solar system. If you do this with 5 or 6 asteroids, your field of vision would be gigantic, with nothing but empty space to peer through rather than atmosphere.

Punch?

Wouldn't a gentle landing be required?

And a soft landing means the speeds are almost identical.

Therefore no asteroid would be needed to 'carry' it anywhere.
