Asteroid defense - Deepstash

Asteroid defense

We can observe an asteroid by observing them through a radar. The radar can reveal its size, shape, and whether it is two objects.

In the unlikely event that an asteroid is deemed a threat, NASA has inventions to effectively diffuse them such as:

  • Kinetic Impactor - a spacecraft that slams into the asteroid to move it's orbit; and
  • Gravity Tractor - a spacecraft that remains near the asteroid until it has its own gravity to gradually alter its path
