Bring "home" an asteroid?
Has any group member read about this
Well, yes, for example see: http://www.panix.com/space/mining.html and the links therein. As for where to look for materials on geosynchronous in particular, I'd first try http://www.permanent.com/ although I don't know for sure. But the other sites can help you estimate the costs for yourself, and what assumptions would affect them. Personally, I'd say it is a lot more credible to do at least the first stages of refining before transporting anything. The delta V to transport an asteroid is really daunting (even just deflecting one slightly, to avoid an earth impact, is difficult). if it is being considered within the near future? No. I could try to make this on-topic for sci.space.station by talking about bringing the asteroid to ISS orbit rather than geosync, but instead I'll just redirect followups to sci.space.moderated. |
