Someone on the moonbounce reflector crunched the numbers and came up with a path loss figure something like 51dB worse than EME, if I recall. The small cross section area was the killer.

The Goldstone 70M dish will be running MAX QRO with 435 kW.
That ought to be enough for EAE. HAAAA. CQ asteroid, CQ asteroid!
