Sounds like an ideal type body for asteroid material return.
300-1,000 tons of material if you can figure a capture
to orbit method.

Totally, what a great way to do some research then to have an asteroid
orbiting the earth, up close and personal. I wonder what sized body it would
take before it had an effect on the earth, much like the moon does?

Approximately moon sized ;-) Well, ok, it might be small moon sized but
not a "pebble" sized.
