Geochemical arguments for an Earth-like Moon-forming impactor.
Geochemical evidence suggests that the material accreted by the Earth did not change in nature during Earth's accretion, presumably because the inner protoplanetary disc had uniform isotopic composition similar to enstatite chondrites, aubrites and ungrouped achondrite NWA 5363/5400. Enstatite meteorites and the Earth were derived from the same nebular reservoir but diverged in their chemical e...
متن کاملSmall Debris Fragments Contribution to Collision Probability for Spacecraft in Low Earth Orbits
Around the Earth there are more than ten million objects larger than 1 mm that can interfere with other orbiting spacecraft. In particular, objects larger than 1 cm are considered massive enough to seriously damage or even destroy a satellite in case of collision. The traditional pieceby-piece approach to study the evolution of debris objects cannot be applied to small fragments their number is...
متن کاملCollision Probability Estimation
As small satellites become more common and are assigned increasingly sophisticated missions, their role in proximity operations is also increased. An estimate of the current relative state (position, velocity and often attitude) as well as a prediction of the future relative state is important in close proximity operations. However, it is often insufficient to rely solely on this estimate to pr...
متن کاملAsteroid 1950 DA's encounter with Earth in 2880: physical limits of collision probability prediction.
Integration of the orbit of asteroid (29075) 1950 DA, which is based on radar and optical measurements spanning 51 years, reveals a 20-minute interval in March 2880 when there could be a nonnegligible probability of the 1-kilometer object colliding with Earth. Trajectory knowledge remains accurate until then because of extensive astrometric data, an inclined orbit geometry that reduces in-plane...
متن کاملAlmahata Sitta (=asteroid 2008 TC3) and the search for the ureilite parent body
This article explores what the recovery of 2008 TC3 in the form of the Almahata Sitta meteorites may tell us about the source region of ureilites in the main asteroid belt. An investigation is made into what is known about asteroids with roughly the same spectroscopic signature as 2008 TC3. A population of low-inclination near-Earth asteroids is identified with spectra similar to 2008 TC3. Five...
