Objective The teams of the Joint Research Project are from 2 INTAS member states (Nice, Namur) and 2 institutes within Russia (Moscow, Chelyabinsk). They will undertake collaborative research on the long-term dynamical evolution of small bodies in the framework of both the forming and the present solar system. The attention will be focussed on the migration of bodies from different regions of the solar system to the near-Earth space.The main goals of the research are:(1) to work out new effective and fast methods and algorithms for investigation of orbital evolution;(2) to consider dynamical aspects of the early evolution of the solar system and other planetary systems, involving both planet formation and the formation and evolution of the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt and main asteroid belt, of the Oort and Hills clouds, of the Trojan swarms, and of the Centaur region;(3) to investigate the present orbital evolution of small bodies, under the gravitational influence of planets and taking into account the effects of secular and mean-motion resonances andof close approaches with other gravitating bodies; and(4) to create models for the replenishment of bodies in near-Earth orbits from various regions of the solar system, in order to obtain more precise estimates on the role of the asteroid and Edgeworth-Kuiper belts and of the Oort cloud and on the frequency of impacts of bodies of various masses with the Earth and other celestial bodies.All the above investigations are indissolubly connected and must be done jointly. For example, relating models of the formation of the solar system with new models of the replenishment of near-Earth objects will allow more accurate estimates of the populations of small bodies in the solar system and hence a better estimate of the potential hazard that they present to the Earth.The obtained results will help to better understand the formation and evolution of the solar system, the distribution of small bodies in term of masses and orbital elements for various regions of the solar system (including the near-Earth space), the cratering and the composition of celestial objects. The results can be used for organizing a search for new small bodies and the defense of the Earth against collisions with near-Earth objects. The algorithms that will be constructed will be put on www-sites and can be used by other scientists for investigations of migration of small bodies.The results will be published in international refereed scientific journals, through oral and poster presentations at conferences, and in lectures to the general public. It is expected that results from this programme will provide scientific, economic and cultural benefits, and contribute to the public understanding and development of science in each of the involved countries.
