Swarm Of Satellite-Operated Lasers Will Deflect Dangerous Asteroids

(Before It's News)

A swarm of small satellite-operated lasers could deflect asteroids headed for Earth. and this new technique may radically improve asteroid deflection technology.

Researchers at the University of Strathclyde are floating the possibility that a group of small satellites could fly in formation and cooperatively fire solar-powered lasers at a threatening asteroid. The discovery would overcome difficulties associated with current methods, which focus on large unwieldy spacecraft…. Rest of article with all images here:
