Options and uncertainties in planetary defense: Impulse-dependent response and the physical properties of asteroids

Journal Article Dearborn, David S. P. ; Bruck Syal, Megan ; Barbee, Brent W. ; ... - Acta Astronautica

In this paper we discuss that though rare, asteroid impacts are inevitable, and with the current state of technology, kinetic impactors are the preferred but not the complete solution. If the time to impact is short, or the threatening body too large, nuclear deflection serves as a final option. This work is part of an integrated study by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to better determine the relative efficacy of these complimentary approaches. In particular, we examine the important material properties that affect each approach, to improve critical characterization efforts, and reducemore »« less

ORBIT-LAUNCHED NUCLEAR VEHICLE DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROCEDURE FOR ESCAPE AND PLANETARY MISSIONS

Technical Report Harris, R J ; Austin, R E

A comprehensive procedure is described, and reference data presented, by which the effect of certain design parameters upon the basic performance of orbit- launched nuclear vehicles can be readily determined for escape and planetary missions. The performance parameters investigated are payload ratio, propellant ratio, characteristic velocity requirement, burning time, injection altitude, central angle, and flight-path angle. The effects of initial thrust-to-weight radio, initial altitude, specific impulse, specific weight factors, and hyperbolic excess velocity are considered. The range of specific impulse assumed is restricted to that considered practicai for nuclear heatexchanger propulsion systems. Use of this procedure and the data presentedmore »« less

Design Guidelines for Deployable Wind Turbines for Defense and Disaster Response Missions

Conference Summerville, Brent ; Houchens, B. ; Naughton, B. ; ...

Access to on-site electrical energy is critical to ensuring a successful military or humanitarian response to conflicts and disasters. These missions typically rely on access to liquid fuel that could be vulnerable to disruption or attack during transport. Generating power on location with wind technology can reduce this risk and enhance mission reach by diversifying energy sources. Common characteristics of these missions are short planning and execution time horizons and a global scope of potential locations. Compared to conventional wind turbine applications, defense and disaster response applications place a premium on rapid shipping and installation, short-duration operation (days to months),more »« less
