Threat Mitigation: The Gravity Tractor
Russell Schweickart, Clark Chapman, Dan Durda +1
The Gravity Tractor (GT) is a fully controlled asteroid deflection concept using the mutual gravity between a robotic spacecraft and an asteroid to slowly accelerate the asteroid i…
Threat Mitigation: The Asteroid Tugboat
Russell Schweickart, Clark Chapman, Dan Durda +1
The Asteroid Tugboat (AT) is a fully controlled asteroid deflection concept using a robotic spacecraft powered by a high efficiency, electric propulsion system (ion or plasma) whic…
Threat Characterization: Trajectory Dynamics
Russell Schweickart, Clark Chapman, Dan Durda +3
Given a primary interest in "mitigation of the potential hazard" of near-Earth objects impacting the Earth, the subject of characterization takes on an aspect not normally present…
New Constraints on Additional Satellites of the Pluto System
A. J. Steffl, M. J. Mutchler, H. A. Weaver +8
Observations of Pluto and its solar-tidal stability zone were made using the Advanced Camera for Surveys' (ACS) Wide Field Channel (WFC) on the Hubble Space Telescope on UT 2005 Ma…
Identifying Near Earth Object Families
Hai Fu, Robert Jedicke, Daniel D. Durda +2
The study of asteroid families has provided tremendous insight into the forces that sculpted the main belt and continue to drive the collisional and dynamical evolution of asteroid…
