متن کاملNear-Earth Asteroid Search Programs
The discovery of the potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroid (NEA) component of the minor-planet population has been enhanced by better detecting and computing technology. A government mandate to quantify the terrestrial impact hazard and to detect 90% of all NEAs larger than 1 km can be realistically addressed. The characteristics, capabilities, and strategies of the major search programs il...
متن کاملNear Earth Asteroid Rendezvous: Mission Summary
On February 14, 2000, the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous spacecraft (NEAR Shoemaker) began the first orbital study of an asteroid, the near-Earth object 433 Eros. Almost a year later, on February 12, 2001, NEAR Shoemaker completed its mission by landing on the asteroid and acquiring data from its surface. NEAR Shoemaker’s intensive study has found an average density of 2.67 ± 0.03, almost unifo...
متن کاملVW : an ordinary chondrite - like near - Earth asteroid ?
The optical reeectance spectrum of the near-Earth asteroid 1993 VW was measured over the wavelength range 4500 { 9200 A using the 1.52 m telescope of the European Southern Observatory and a CCD spectrograph. This object, as supposed, has been found to show spectral properties resembling the rare Q taxonomic type asteroids and possibly ordinary chondrite meteorites.
متن کاملThe hazard of near-Earth asteroid impacts on earth
Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) have struck the Earth throughout its existence. During epochs when life was gaining a foothold f 4 Ga, the impact rate was thousands of times what it is today. Even during the Phanerozoic, the numbers of NEAs guarantee that there were other impacts, possibly larger than the Chicxulub event, which was responsible for the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinctions. Astronomers ha...
