| Title : | Charting response options for threatening near earth objects | | Material Type: | ISU Team Project reports | | Publisher: | Illkirch-Graffenstaden [France] : International Space University | | Publication Date: | 2002 | | Size: | 30 cm | | General note: | Includes bibliographical references. | | Languages : | English (eng) | | Abstract: | A NEO can be defined as "any asteroid or comet that can come close to the Eaths's orbit". Although the threat caused by the impact of such an object has been increasingly recognised by the international community, it is not yet well understood. The following study presents a multidisciplinary examination of the Near Earth Object hazard. General space and Earth based options as well as a specific case study are presented. The mission statement under which this report was conducted, was to chart the responses in order to mitigate the hazards of NEOs and thus ensure the survivability of Earth's living heritage. | | Host institution : | International Space University, Strasbourg | | Host country : | France | | ISU program : | Master of Space Studies | | Record link: | http://isulibrary.isunet.edu/opac/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=5171 |
