ADRC Research Projects
The ADRC will conduct a variety of research projects and collaborate with key individuals and organizations in order to effectively study ways to mitigate the threat posed by Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). An overview of all research projects can be found here.
ISGC NEO Study (Current)
The first comprehensive Near-Earth Object deflection research study to be conducted by the ADRC is funded by Dr. Bill Byrd, Director of the NASA Iowa Space Grant Consortium (ISGC). As such, it is the first asteroid mitigation research project ever to be formally funded by NASA. Under study are detection, characterization, and deflection of NEOs, as well as integration and coordination of these tasks.
