We continue our #AsteroidDay content and, looking to the future, Prof of Planetary and Space Science, Simon Green is working on space missions that will visit asteroids in coming years.
Why? For planetary defence - how we protect Earth from impact by space rocks in the future.
Why? For planetary defence - how we protect Earth from impact by space rocks in the future.
One of the planetary defence missions is @NASA's DART and the other is @esa’s HERA, both looking at how to deflect asteroids on a collision course with Earth. @ESA have a great video narrated by @DrBrianMay all about how these missions are connected.
For the research side, you can check out Prof Simon Green’s research about the science behind DART and HERA for asteroid deflection.

To mark #AsteroidDay, we’ve got a whole day of #asteroid content ready for you. Stay on board to learn how and why we study asteroids with spacecraft, and how we protect Earth from them colliding with us. We'll even look at #SpaceMining!
#AsteroidDay was founded by astrophysicist @DrBrianMay, Astronaut Rusty Schweickart Filmmaker @GrigRichters; and B612 President Danica Remy, to encourage the public and governments to learn more about asteroids and the role they play in our Solar System.
#AsteroidDay marks the anniversary of the largest asteroid impact in recorded history, Tunguska, 1908. Such impacts are part of the reason scientists study asteroids, working on resources to search for and deflect asteroids from Earth-crossing orbits.
