Search for design solutions to prevent the Kessler effect [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The article deals with the problems of near-earth space associated with the formation of objects called "space debris". The main sources of the appearance of "space debris" in near-earth orbits are highlighted.

NEOMOD: A New Orbital Distribution Model for Near-Earth Objects
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are a transient population of small bodies with orbits near or in the terrestrial planet region. They represent a mid-stage in the dynamical cycle of asteroids and comets, which starts with their removal from the respective ...

Optical Spectropolarimetry of Binary Asteroid Didymos–Dimorphos before and after the DART Impact
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We have monitored the Didymos–Dimorphos binary asteroid in spectropolarimetric mode in the optical range before and after the DART impact. The ultimate goal was to obtain constraints on the characteristics of the ejected dust for modeling purposes ...

Validation of the Survey Simulator Tool for the NEO Surveyor Mission Using NEOWISE Data
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The Near-Earth Object Surveyor (NEO Surveyor) mission has a requirement to find two-thirds of the potentially hazardous asteroids larger than 140 m in size. In order to determine the mission’s expected progress toward this goal during design and testing,

Infrared Light Curves of Near-Earth Objects [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2018 Abstract We present light curves and derive periods and amplitudes for a subset of 38 near-Earth objects (NEOs) observed at 4.5 μm with the IRAC camera on the the Spitzer Space Telescope, many of them having no previously reported rotation periods. This subset was chosen from about 1800 IRAC NEO observations as having obvious periodicity

Geoinformation modeling of near-Earth space: current tasks and future prospects [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 The history of space exploration and current near-Earth space objects population are described in this paper. Moreover, the necessity of GIS technologies application to solve space industry tasks and the development of corresponding GIS are explained ...

Unconfirmed Near-Earth Objects [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2018 Abstract We studied the Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) candidates posted on the Minor Planet Center’s Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page (NEOCP) between years 2013 and 2016. Out of more than 17000 NEA candidates, while the majority became either new discoveries or were associated with previously known objects, about 11% were unable to be ...

A Single Ejection Model of the DART/Dimorphos Debris Trail
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The collision of the NASA DART spacecraft with asteroid Dimorphos resulted in the formation of a distinctive and long-lived debris trail, formed by the action of solar radiation pressure on ejected particles.

Measuring the Orbit Drift of Near-Earth Asteroids by the Yarkovsky Effect
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Yarkovsky effect causes the semimajor axis drift of near-Earth asteroids. The drift can be detected by a precise orbit determination process. Using the proposed algorithm, 2233 out of 27,078 near-Earth asteroids are chosen as the initial candidates ...
