Asteroid Science: A Tool for Planetary Defense, Law and Policy (2026-2027)

Learn more about this project

Description

Near-earth objects (NEOs) such as asteroids and meteors pose real, if infrequent, threats to Earth and nearby space environments. Recent events highlight the limitations of current detection systems.

As asteroid discovery increases and humanity expands activity on Earth, in orbit and on the moon, science, policy and law must work together to improve global readiness. This project addresses that need by integrating technical research with legal and policy frameworks for planetary defense.
