The China National Space Administration has shared info about new plans to build an asteroid monitoring system.
With larger asteroids though, NASA and other space agencies seem to agree that the results of an impact could be catastrophic. That’s why having an early warning and asteroid monitoring system in place is vital.The asteroid known as 16 Psyche. Image source: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU
On top of its asteroid monitoring system, Wu says China hopes to test an asteroid redirect probe within four years. The test will see a probe find an NRO and then crash into it to alter its orbital trajectory.. However, NASA is doing it roughly 6.8 million miles from Earth. China has not shared how far it plans to go out with its test. With some luck, the CNSA hopes to test the probe in 2025 or 2026.
It’s good to see other nations taking the threats posed by asteroids seriously. NASA is working on its own plans, and now China is throwing its hat in the ring. With plans to take humanity back to the Moon, and even one day to put people on Mars, we’re going to need all the help we can get fighting back against the dangerous forces at play in space.
