Course Details

Astrodynamics and Orbital Mechanics: Understanding the motion and behavior of near-Earth objects (NEOs) is crucial for planning and implementing planetary defense strategies. This unit covers the fundamental principles of astrodynamics and orbital mechanics, including Kepler's laws, two-body problems, and perturbation theories.

Near-Earth Object Survey Techniques: This unit explores the various techniques and technologies used to detect, track, and characterize NEOs. Topics include ground-based and space-based telescopes, infrared and radar imaging, and spectroscopy.

Near-Earth Object Characterization and Risk Assessment: In this unit, students learn how to determine the size, shape, composition, and hazard potential of NEOs. Emphasis is placed on understanding the Yarkovsky effect, impact probabilities, and the Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale.

Deflection and Disruption Technologies: Students will examine the different methods for deflecting or disrupting NEOs to prevent potential impacts. Topics include kinetic impactors, nuclear devices, gravity tractors, and laser ablation.

Mission Design and Implementation: This unit covers the design, planning, and execution of planetary defense missions, including the selection of appropriate defense technologies, spacecraft design, and mission operations.

International Cooperation and Policy: Protecting Earth from NEO impacts requires close international collaboration and coordination. This unit explores the existing legal and policy frameworks, organizations, and international agreements related to planetary defense.

Public Outreach and Communication: Effective communication of planetary defense concepts and risks to the general public is essential for ensuring awareness and support. This unit focuses on best practices for engaging with various stakeholders, media, and policymakers.

Ethical and Cultural Considerations: This unit discusses the ethical and cultural aspects of planetary defense strategies, including consider
