.@WhatDaMath #AntonPetrov explains the surprising results of the #DART mission, "30 times more successful" than hoped, as well as concepts #NEOSurveyor & #GravityTractor

Rather than sending a 'kinetic impactor', as will soon be done with NASA's DART and ESA's #HeraMission, we could try a '#gravitytractor' – flying a spacecraft close enough to an asteroid that the spacecraft's gravitational attraction pulls the rocky body off course

@NualphaOmegam Hi! the unroll you asked for: Thread by @BiIndia: "A 'city-killer' asteroid got scarily close to Earth yesterday, and astronomers didn't know it was just da […]" #StatueofLiberty #gravitytractor https://t.co/J6Mo6VvwNi

One of those options is to launch an object into space to ram the incoming space rock head-on. Another involves what's called a #gravitytractor.

“What would happen if an #asteroid was hurtling towards #Earth? @NASA could employ its #GravityTractor to change its course, but according to the space agency, that could take years or decades.”

If you are in distress, don't worry about a thing. https://t.co/g69zUKdSir #gravitytractor #interstellar
#GravityTractor is another known mitigation measure to deflect an asteroid. Find more: https://t.co/yU5oGi4rIc

Weird that @elonmusk didn't mention #gravitytractor bringing ice comet to Mars as #terraform method.
.@astroEdLu We can hover a small spacecraft near an asteroid and use gravity as tow line to divert asteroid. #gravitytractor #AsteroidDay
@OSIRISREx #askNASA Will your approach and operations have any measurable effect on #Bennu 's trajectory or Earth flyby? #GravityTractor
#gravitytractor The asteroids are coming! We need to test a mission to stop them. By @BadAstronomer http://t.co/umsR7DxOfB via @slate
