There is a golden opportunity to use asteroids as test masses to probe gravitational waves and ultra-light dark matter in the microHz frequency range. At present, there are no agency supported missions in this frequency band. Terrestrial interferometers operate at frequencies above 10 Hz while pulsar timing arrays are focussed on the nHz band. The proposed LISA constellation will focus on the mHz range, while atom interferometric concepts such as MAGIS/AION are aimed at the frequency band 100 mHz - 10 Hz.
