Using Artificial Satellite to Gravitational Control of Flights Meteorites-A Mathematical Model

摘要

Among the methods proposed for anti-asteroid protection of the Earth, gravitational control of the flights of meteorites by a group of artificial satellites is the most secure and environmentally safe. In this method, a threatening asteroid or meteorite is escorted by a system of artificial satellites controlled from the Earth. Calculations have shown that five such satellites forming a chain can shift considerably the center of the asteroid mass and thereby change its trajectory. For multiple corrections of the flight of an asteroid, several "parades" of its artificial satellites are necessary.
