numerical tests and simple analytic considerations. Our analysis shows that formal …

Deflection by kinetic impact: Sensitivity to asteroid properties

MB Syal, JM Owen, PL Miller - Icarus, 2016 - Elsevier
Impacting an asteroid with a spacecraft traveling at high speed delivers an impulsive change
in velocity to the body. In certain circumstances, this strategy could be used to deflect a …

Options and uncertainties in planetary defense: Impulse-dependent response and the physical properties of asteroids

DSP Dearborn, MB Syal, BW Barbee, G Gisler… - Acta Astronautica, 2020 - Elsevier
Though rare, asteroid impacts are inevitable, and with the current state of technology, kinetic
impactors are the preferred but not the complete solution. If the time to impact is short, or the …
