So Many Choices, So Few Dollars | Hohmann Transfer

Jun 28, 2012. So Many Choices, So Few Dollars. First there was WISE. The NASA space telescope that scanned the sky in infrared. Besides locating many brown dwarfs, under the NEOWISE. Program, it also found thousands of new asteroids including 129 near-Earth ones, 22 of which are potentially hazardous. This was an excellent proof-of-concept showing even a small space telescope could discover hundreds of new, potentially hazardous objects. Then came the unveiling of Planetary Resources. To me, this all fee...

Future Planetary Exploration: Discovery Proposals to Explore the Solar System’s Smallest Worlds
http://futureplanets.blogspot.com/2015/07/discovery-proposals-to-explore-solar.html
Results of Past Polls. Friday, July 24, 2015. Discovery Proposals to Explore the Solar System’s Smallest Worlds. Minor corrections were made to the previous version of this post. Launch for the selected mission will need to happen by the end of 2021, not 2020. Also, one previous space telescope, the Kepler mission to search for planets around other stars was also selected under the Discovery program although it was later moved to NASA's astrophysics program. The moons of Mars also are not shown. The open...

LD:Luna Distance=384,000km, AU:Astronomical distance Unit=150,000,000km。 Ref NEO Earth Close Approaches/NASA Near-Earth Object Program. CA Distanceが0.02LD/0.00004AUより小さい小惑星が2つありますが、これは最接近距離が地球半径より小さい、つまり地球に衝突したことを意味します(ただ、2014 XX39については国際天文学連合Miner Planet Centerのデータでは0.000154AUの所を通過したことになっています)。

Issue #9 - Main Engine Cut Off
https://mainenginecutoff.com/weekly/9
Main Engine Cut Off. January 9, 2017. I’m back from my short hiatus with a few topics to kick off the year. On the public side, NASA selected two Discovery-class missions. To study asteroids, and awarded four more flights for each Commercial Crew provider. On the private side, SpaceX is due to return to flight. As soon as the once-a-decade weather clears out of California, and OneWeb recently received $1.2 billion in funding. And planetary defense will become of extreme importance. For Venus, all hope is...

NASA is planning to deflect an asteroid in 2022 to learn how to protect Earth. Updated by Joseph Stromberg. On April 3, 2015, 12:00 pm ET @josephstromberg. An illustration of the plume and crater left by NASAs dart probe after crashing into an asteroid a test of technologies intended to help us deflect asteroids in the future. In 2022, NASA plans to send a probe crashing into an asteroid at more than 13,000 miles per hour to deflect it off its course. The goal is to develop the technology and expertise t...
