Project description DEENESFRITPL Technological advancements for planetary defence In recent years, demand has increased for planetary defence, science and resource missions to asteroids. This demand requires major advancements in numerical modelling of asteroid responses to an impact, asteroid dynamics and physical properties as well as space mission payload development, data processing and operational capabilities. It could also provide, due to its public roots, a high social and environmental impact mainly due to the benefits of impact mitigation, science understanding of asteroids and asteroid mining. Involving scientific and industrial experts, the EU-funded NEO-MAPP project aims to provide significant advances in these areas, while at the same time sustainably increase expertise of European scientists and engineers in both planetary defence efforts and asteroid exploration. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Planetary defence, science or resource missions to asteroids require new advances in numerical modelling, payload development, data processing technology, and operational capabilities. The NEO-MAPP consortium includes scientific and industrial experts with a solid expertise in asteroid science and space missions and is, therefore, ideally placed to further advance NEO scientific research and technologies. In a multi-disciplinary and synergetic approach, NEO-MAPP incorporates two activities: numerical modelling, and technology and data processing developments. NEO-MAPP will bring modelling capabilities well beyond the state-of-the-art, producing major advancements in our understanding of the response of NEOs to a kinetic impact or an Earth encounter, and of their physical and dynamical properties. NEO-MAPP will also increase the maturity of five innovative payloads specifically optimized for NEO space missions and devoted to the surface, sub-surface and internal properties of a NEO; parameters that are currently poorly constrained yet of high importance to planetary defence. In parallel, the NEO-MAPP team will define innovative measurement and data processing strategies, combining multiple payloads, in order to maximize the exploitation of scientific and technical data. These objectives will be addressed by adopting a framework of two “Reference Missions”. The team will ensure that the mission scenarios are both highly relevant to the current international and European programmatic context while remaining generic enough to be transposable to any alternative scenarios. NEO-MAPP will thus provide significant advances in our understanding of NEOs while ensuring the future leadership of European scientists and engineers in both planetary defence and small-body exploration. The project outcome, especially regarding impact mitigation (but also asteroid mining), responds to a public demand and, therefore, will have a high social and environmental impact.
