    The project aims to place a transponder and other experiments in the surface of Apophis by using a intelligent web that will attach to the asteroid. The web, composed of four nodes, will take the form of a tetrahedron after being deployed by the transport module. The nodes are able to contain fragile components, this allows a variety of experiments to be conduced in the surface of Apophis. The 'intelligent-web' design can be used with other purposes like deflection of the asteroid.

    This project is solving the Asteroid Hunter challenge.

    Description

    El propósito del proyecto es anclar firmemente un transpondedor que permita estudiar la dinámica orbital de Apophis por un periodo de tiempo suficientemente largo y además realizar más experimentos y colectar más datos. Esto mediante un diseño de misión adecuado a las características de Apophis y un diseño de anclaje de red inteligente.

  • The following projects are solving this challenge:

    • Safari Apophis 2.0

      The goal of our project is to change the orbit of potentially hazardous asteroids and study the possibility of setting a new orbit around the Earth or the Moon for mining. We developed a design of web that can place and keep a number of gyroscopes and other instruments in the surface of an aster... Visit Project
