ASTEROID DAY

Asteroid Day is a dynamic awareness and educational program to inspire the world about asteroids – their role in the formation of our universe, how we can use their resources, how asteroids can pave the way for future exploration and finally how we can protect our planet from asteroid impacts.

We must learn how to ‘slow down and speed up asteroids’ to avoid the fate of dinosaurs, Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart tells RT. The interviewer, Sophie (Sophika) Schevardnadze is Eduard Schevardnadze’s granddaughter.

Today, leading scientists launched the #SupportHera campaign in support of the European Space Agency candidate mission, Hera. More details at: http://supporthera.com

00:00 Speaker: Professor Alan Fitzsimmons - How discovery and observations of comets and asteroids are done today to feed into dynamical maps and catalogs, and what we are learning about asteroids including case studies of new discoveries. 18:43 Q & A Part 1 33:20 Speaker: Dr. Dorin Prunariu - How the United Nations works to support asteroid related political and scientific efforts to increase our understanding and global strategies to respond to the opportunities and threats related to asteroids. 46:05 Q & A Part 2 01:14:01 Exit Speech - Danica Remy Asteroid Day is a global movement to protect Earth from asteroid impacts.

The Asteroid Foundation and our premier sponsors welcome academic and industry leaders from Luxembourg to a technical presentation about asteroids led by experts traveling from around the world. Learn insights into asteroids including space missions, computational tools to find, track and deflect asteroids, the state of the world with respect to United Nations asteroid initiatives and much more. Our program is part of the United Nations International Asteroid Day campaign. The program is hosted Arendt and the Asteroid Foundation, a Luxembourg nonprofit. Program Mark Boslough will discuss what we have learned about the physics of terrestrial airbursts over the last quarter century. This knowledge has enabled us to model airburst consequences in support of risk assessment. Lynn Jones will discuss how the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will detect on the order of 200,000 Near Earth Asteroids, and over 6,000,000 Main belt asteroids, along with tens of thousands of long and short period comets, and anywhere from 1 to 100 Interstellar Objects like 'Oumuamua. This lets us identify unusual or outlier asteroids, discover potential targets for spaceflight missions, and learn about the formation of the Solar System. Slava G. Turyshev will present a new space mission concept that is capable of finding, detecting, and tracking 90% of near-Earth objects (NEO) with H magnitude of H ≤ 22 (i.e., ∼140 m in size). The new mission concept relies on two emerging technologies: the technique of synthetic tracking and the new generation of small and capable interplanetary spacecraft. Robert Jedicke will discussPan-STARRS1 telescope on the 3,000-meter summit of Haleakala in Hawai'i. The system can also detect asteroids that could be future targets for water extraction to jump-start human exploration of our solar system. Patrick Michel will present exciting new data from the asteroid missions Hayabusa2 as well as new science coming from OSIRIS-REx. Including anecdotes better than an Indiana Johns adventure. He is at the scientific heart of both these missions. Each panel presentation end with interactive Q&A from the Astronauts and the audience Speakers Georges Schmit, Asteroid Foundation Board Chair Danica Remy, Asteroid Day Co-founder Space Travelers Rusty Schweickart Dr. Ed Lu, Dr. Dorin Prunariu Aleksandr Misurkin Reinhold Ewald Scientists Lynne Jones Mark Boslough Patrick Michel Robert Jedicke Slava G.

Storytelling Tools for Complex Science Scientific work is greatly enhanced by the ability to communicate as well as analyze complex data. Today’s technologies are advancing at a breakneck pace which helps us better understand our world. The panelists will share visualizations of new ways to understand and communicate what’s happening in the sciences through 3D, stereoscopic images, graphic maps, visual modeling and data presentations. Discussions of how enhanced storytelling, including immersive media leads to better understanding, better science, and new breakthroughs.
