Near earth object collisional mitigation via intense neutron and photon sources : a study in asteroid interdiction and energy coupling

Creator:

Sanders, JC

Abstract:

The large population of 2r>100m near earth objects (NEOs) presents a certain hazard to life on earth. It has been proposed that a nuclear device may be used to alter the course of such objects, thereby averting a catastrophic collision with the earth. The asteroid interdiction problem includes a number...
