Pyroxene Mineralogies of Near-earth Vestoids
Introduction: For any near-Earth asteroid (NEA) on a possible collision course with Earth, a number of factors must be determined to evaluate the object’s potential hazard. One of these factors is the object’s mineralogy, which can be used to estimate the density and, therefore, the mass of the object. This work discusses how to determine the mineralogies of NEAs that have reflectance spectra s...
متن کاملCapturing near-Earth asteroids around Earth
The list of detected near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) is constantly growing. NEAs are likely targets for resources to support space industrialization, as they may be the least expensive source of certain needed raw materials. The limited supply of precious metals and semiconducting elements on Earth may be supplemented or even replaced by the reserves floating in the form of asteroids around the sol...
متن کاملDIOGENITE-LIKE FEATURES IN THE SPITZER IRS (5–35μm) SPECTRUM OF 956 ELISA
We report preliminary results from the Spitzer IRS (Infrared Spectrograph) observations of the V-type asteroid 956 Elisa. Elisa was observed as part of a campaign to measure the 5.2–38 micron spectra of small basaltic asteroids with the Spitzer IRS. Targets include members of the dynamical family of the unique large differentiated asteroid 4 Vesta (“Vestoids”), several outer-mainbelt basaltic a...
متن کاملInvestigate probability of damage of Earth dam under Near-field and Far –field earthquake : Case study Gotvand earth dam
The main goal of preset research is investigate the effects of vertical component of Near-Fault and Far-Field earthquake records on the probability of overtopping induced damage of earth dam due to the reduction of freeboard due to the settlement of dam crest. In this respect 12 different earthquake record are selected. Nonlinear dynamic analysis of earth dam is implemented with FLAC 3D using F...
متن کاملNear - Earth Objects
Because the NEO population is constantly evolving and being replenished from the main asteroid belt and cometary reservoirs, it consists of objects with a variety of compositions and internal structures. These objects present unique opportunities for future planetary science goals and exploration. In order to realize these opportunities for future NASA studies, an expanded program for NEO disco...
