Secure World Foundation Report On Near-Earth Objects

   In October 2010, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy assigned NASA as the lead agency on planetary defence.

“The truth, always the truth–at all costs”
 I will strive to give you perspectives on the news that you will rarely receive from other sources. At times, there will be eye-witness reports from troubled areas, at other times, there will be documentary,interviews and other interesting works. 
I am committed to providing information by posting/archiving videos, articles, and links. I also investigate to raise awareness on numerous issues, inspire critical thinking, involvement, and hopefully to help make our world a better place for all.

According to a recently published report, the report states They are big. They are bad. What to do with Earth-slamming near-Earth objects? The Secure World Foundation (SWF), an endowed, private operating foundation have been considering them.

They promote cooperative solutions for space sustainability and the peaceful uses of outer space, has released their new document: “Near-Earth Objects: Responding to the International Challenge”. This booklet has been designed to bring into focus the key issues faced by the international community in dealing with the threat of near-Earth objects (NEOs) and the prospect of a celestial body hitting Earth.

In particular, the booklet reviews the state of research on asteroids and summarizes the various efforts to mitigate potential future threats. It also identifies areas of future research and development. Well before the Chelyabinsk event, SWF began working with partners such as the Association of Space Explorers (ASE), the Planetary Society, and the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UN COPUOS) and its Scientific and Technical Subcommittee (STSC), to help develop international cooperative mechanisms for responding to an asteroid threat.

The UN plan to establish an “International Asteroid Warning Network” (IAWN) is a critical step in collecting and sharing information about potentially hazardous NEOs. If an Earth-threatening asteroid is detected, UN COPUOS could help to facilitate a spacecraft mission intended to deflect that object from its collision course with Earth.
