The ESA and other space agencies from around the world are setting up a high-level group of experts to help coordinate a global strategy, if an asteroid was heading towards the Earth. The authorities have a mandate from the United Nations (UN). For the first time national space agencies from North and South America, alameda santos 1470 Europe, Asia and Africa will use an expert group on threat of asteroids. It aims to launch the space nations, alameda santos 1470 to the same level, so that they can adequately respond alameda santos 1470 to the threat of asteroids. The group has the task of coordinating, alameda santos 1470 expertise and resources for missions intended to proceed against alameda santos 1470 possible asteroid alameda santos 1470 impacts on Earth. Of the more than 600,000 known asteroids in our solar system are about 10,000 as near-Earth objects (Near-Earth Objects, NEOs) classified because their orbits come close relatively close to the orbit of the Earth.
That such near-Earth objects can hit the Earth, shows a dramatic incident of 15 February 2013. At that time reached an unknown object with an estimated diameter of 17 m to 20 m and a speed of 66,000 km / h Chelyabinsk in Russia and exploded high above city. It continued the 20- to 30-fold free energy of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The blast caused extensive damage and many casualties. alameda santos 1470 The asteroid been the biggest natural object, which entered the Earth's atmosphere since the incident in Tunguska in 1908. At that time a remote forest in Siberia was destroyed. Coordinate global approaches
Was - (pronounced "same page" Space Mission Planning alameda santos 1470 and Advisory Group, SMPAG) established by the Action Team 14 The planning and advisory group for space missions. The Action Team 14 is a technical forum, with a mandate of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, UNCOPUOS) is provided. It aims to develop a response alameda santos 1470 strategy for a potential asteroid impact. SMPAG will coordinate the technical know-how of the space agencies in terms of threats from asteroids. These include basic research and development, mitigation of impacts and emissions to deflect asteroids. "In addition SMPAG will develop a set of individual or jointly flown reference missions to intercept asteroids and refine" says Detlef Koschny, head of the NEO activities in the framework of the ESA program to space situational awareness (Space Situational Awareness programs, SSA). "This includes precursor missions or test and evaluation missions that we have to fly to test our technologies before an actual threat occurs." The first meeting of the group of ESA on 6 and 7 February at the European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt aligned. Cooperation with the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN)
More than 30 representatives from 13 space agencies, seven state ministries and the United Nations are expected in Darmstadt. The agenda includes the exchange of expertise and the latest research from impact studies. In addition, the experts will establish a work program for the next two years. "First, the group will address the organizational and operational resources, the specific technologies and scientific skills of each authority and propose options, who can do what most do and how such cooperation alameda santos 1470 can best use," said Detlef Koschny. The group will work closely with one other committee or Action Team 14, which has also received a UN mandate: the International Network for warning alameda santos 1470 of asteroid (International alameda santos 1470 Astero
