Nov 30, 2018 · Based on new tracking measurements taken this week, the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) has confirmed that asteroid 2017 PDC is on a course that will almost certainly impact Earth on July 21, 2027, less than nine years from now.

A hypothetical asteroid impact scenario will be presented at the 2017 IAA Planetary Defense Conference (PDC), to be held in Tokyo, Japan, May 15-19, 2017. Although this scenario is realistic in many ways, it is completely fictional and does …

Apr 3, 2023 · The following diagram shows the orbits of 2023 PDC and Earth along with their positions at the time the asteroid was discovered on January 10, 2023. The point at which the orbits intersect, and where an impact is possible, is highlighted by a red square.

This presentation summarizes impact risk assessment results for Epoch 2 of the 2023 PDC hypothetical asteroid impact scenario. Epoch 2 represents the assessment phase before launch of the first reconnaissance mission, around 7 months after initial discovery, when the asteroid orbit is confirmed to impact Earth

Researchers in the NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division Computational Aerosciences Branch are developing new tools and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods to more accurately capture a variety of hypothetical asteroid strikes to help estimate the possibility and extent of damage such impacts could cause.

Apr 24, 2019 · In this hypothetical future, NASA’s reconnaissance mission to asteroid 2019 PDC reveals that the 140-260 meter asteroid is headed for an impact just outside Denver, Colorado on April 29, 2027. The agency plans to launch two spacecraft in spring 2022 to rendezvous with the asteroid to learn more about it.

•Images provided key tracking data; IAWN has determined that 2017 PDC is on a course headed for impact near Tokyo on July 21, 2027 •The flyby revealed that 2017 PDC is a binary, consisting of a primary body about

Apr 27, 2023 · This presentation summarizes impact risk assessment results for Epoch 3 of the 2023 PDC hypothetical asteroid impact scenario. Epoch 3 represents the assessment phase after data is received from a fast fly-by reconnaissance mission, which refines direct size estimates, asteroid type, and impact location range.

Feb 1, 2024 · After all BELA-Os have detonated their NED payloads near the 2023 PDC asteroid to deflect its orbit, the asteroid will safely fly by Earth at a minimum altitude of 3500 km instead of colliding on October 22, 2036.
