Chinese researchers say they believe a group of rockets could be used to change the path of
asteroids that might pass near Earth.
A team at China’s National Space Science Center carried out
simulations on the proposed asteroid defense system.
The scientists said their research suggests 23 rockets of China’s biggest kind of rockets could force a large asteroid to change direction. They said the rockets could move the asteroid from its path by a distance of 1.4 times Earth’s
BEIJING (Reuters) Chinese researchers want to send more than 20 of China s largest rockets to practice turning away a sizable asteroid a technique that may eventually be crucial if a killer rock is on a collision course with Earth.
The idea is more than science fiction. Sometime between late 2021 to early 2022, the United States will launch a robotic spacecraft to intercept two asteroids relatively close to Earth.
When it arrives a year later, the NASA spacecraft will crash-land on the smaller of the two rocky bodies to see how much the asteroid s trajectory changes. It will be humanity s first try at changing the course of a celestial body.
Americanii sunt primii care au luat în serios această amenințare, La sfârșitul anului 2021 sau începutul anului 2022, Statele Unite vor lansa o navă spațială robotizată pentru a intercepta doi asteroizi relativ aproape de Pământ.
Un an mai târziu, nava spațială a NASA va lovi cel mai mic dintre cele două corpuri stâncoase pentru a vedea cât de mult poate schimba traiectoria asteroidului. Va fi prima încercare adin istoria umanității de a schimba cursul unui corp ceresc.
Chinezii vor să protejeze întreaga lume
China e dornică să-și afirme și ea statutul de superputere prin protejarea Pământului. Cercetătorii chinezi au, însă, o idee diferită de a americanilor. Vor să folosească peste 20 dintre cele mai mari rachete ale lor pentru schimba traiectoria asteroizilor Armaghedonului periculoși dacă aceștia se află pe un curs de coliziune cu Pământul.
