Contactless asteroid orbit modification system MOSAIC and bindary asteroid orbit modification KABOOM
KABOOM
We study a low-cost interplanetary mission to demonstrate the capability of artificially modifying the orbit of a small (250 ton) binary asteroid body. The targeting spacecraft survives the slow (~1 m/s) impact to carry out the orbit modification measurement afterwards.
