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.

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. Asteroid Day events are held on 30 June each year to mark the anniversary of the 1908 Tunguska impact. Asteroid Day events are largely independently organized around the world for people of all ages and are mostly free-of-charge. Asteroid Day is a program run by the Asteroid Foundation, a Luxembourg nonprofit organization. Asteroid Day was co-founded in 2014, by Dr. Brian May, astrophysicist and lead guitarist of QUEEN, together with Danica Remy, President of B612 Foundation, Rusty Schweickart, Apollo 9 Astronaut, and filmmaker Grig Richters. In 2016, the United Nations officially designated Asteroid Day as the international day of awareness and education about asteroids. Together with the United Nations, space agencies, schools and universities Asteroid Day is organized by networks of supporters who host events worldwide on 30, June and any other day of the year that the independent groups determine: http://asteroidday.org

Read the full article about interstellar asteroid, `Oumuamua here: http://asteroid.lu/Oumuamua-eso On 19 October 2017, the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawai`i picked up a faint point of light moving across the sky. It initially looked like a typical fast-moving small asteroid, but additional observations over the next couple of days allowed its orbit to be computed fairly accurately. The orbit calculations revealed beyond any doubt that this body did not originate from inside the Solar System, like all other asteroids or comets ever observed, but instead had come from interstellar space. Although originally classified as a comet, observations from ESO and elsewhere revealed no signs of cometary activity after it passed closest to the Sun in September 2017. The object was reclassified as an interstellar asteroid and named 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua). Asteroid Day is a global movement to protect Earth from asteroid impacts. Join us today!
