Easily retrievable objects among the NEO population [PDF]
, 2013 Asteroids and comets are of strategic importance for science in an effort to understand the formation, evolution and composition of the Solar System. Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are of particular interest because of their accessibility from Earth, but also

Multi-criteria comparison among several mitigation strategies for dangerous near Earth objects [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of different deviation methods for Near Earth Objects is presented. Specifically, solar collector, nuclear interceptor, kinetic impactor, low-thrust propulsion, mass driver and gravity tug are ...

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 ...

Evidence-based robust design of deflection actions for near Earth objects [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents a novel approach to the robust design of deflection actions for Near Earth Objects (NEO). In particular, the case of deflection by means of Solar-pumped Laser ablation is studied here in detail. The basic idea behind Laser ablation is

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 ...

Asteroid resource map for near-Earth space [PDF]
, 2011 Most future concepts for the exploration and exploitation of space require a large initial mass in low Earth orbit. Delivering this required mass from the Earth’s surface increases cost due to the large energy input necessary to move mass out of the ...

, 2005 In this paper we present visible and near-infrared spectroscopy of 7 peculiar NEOs. These objects have been observed within the SINEO (Spectral Investigation of Near-Earth Objects) survey, which have produced more then 100 spectra of NEOs. Among the objects presented here, five of them result to be spectrally peculiar, belonging to the rare V and R ...

Optimal trajectory design for interception and deflection of Near Earth Objects [PDF]
, 2010 Many asteroids and comets orbit the inner solar system; among them Near Earth Objects (NEOs) are those celestial bodies for which the orbit lies close, and sometimes crosses, the Earth's orbit.
