Note: This class is designed to be safe and there is no risk to participants. There are over 10,000 known near earth asteroids. This hands on class explores 1 of the methods called ablation which NASA & the U.S. Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) would consider using to redirect an asteroid to avoid a collision with earth. Asteroid laser ablation is a proposed method for deflecting asteroids, involving the use of a laser array to alter the orbit of an asteroid. Laser ablation works by heating up a substance enough to allow gaseous material to eject, either through sublimation (solid to gas) or vaporization (liquid to gas). At PVNet we have a workshop to develop a system to track and target a balloon. In this workshop we will develop a system using a mini computer, and optical tracking of a moving object for the system to target.
