"Dreyfus Awa" and earth meet imaginary figure

Russia protect the Earth from planet impact Research Center Director Anatoli · Zaitsev 22, said that the three were equipped with observation satellites, reconnaissance satellites and space block special launch spacecraft into "combat duty status", the asteroid threat to Earth 99.9 per cent. World Science report

Zaitsev day in Moscow Oblast korolyov city held the first "the universe and man" International Symposium on pointed out that Russian scientists propose joint strength of world space powers to form known as "the Castle" Earth protection system. The essence of this system is the establishment of a rapid reaction forces, in order to detect dangerous asteroid, determine its trajectory, and interception.

Follow Zaitsev, rapid reaction forces consists of three separate piggyback observation satellites, reconnaissance satellites and space block special launch spacecraft, they usually are in "combat duty status". When a dangerous object is found, the emission observation satellites to study, the resulting data is used to prevent them from impacting design. When the United Nations and other aspects of the decision to block, and then launch reconnaissance satellites to determine the orbit of dangerous objects, then launch space interceptor spacecraft orbital forcing changes of dangerous objects, or destroyed.

Zaitsev said, diameter 100 meters from the asteroid threat to Earth share of asteroid 99.9 per cent. In accordance with the calculation of Russia expert, destroy the asteroids only need 1000 ton TNT equivalent of nuclear bombs, Russia and other countries serving of launch vehicle fully capable of launching such nuclear devices.

Zaitsev said: from a few years ago, scientists discovered the asteroid "Dreyfus Awa" moment, protecting the Earth from the asteroid attacks task becomes very urgent. According to scientists, to 2029 year "Dreyfus Awa" and the distance to the Earth in 4 million kilometers, to 2036 affected by gravity, "Dreyfus Awa" trajectory may be changed, and the Earth "in touch".
