Abstract

Dealing with the risk of near-Earth asteroid (NEA) impact and conducting research on asteroid defense is a major scientific and technological challenge for the international astronomy, aerospace and other fields in the future.This paper systematically introduces the research on geometric dynamics and control and its application status and prospects in the field against the background of NEA defense.Based on the actual problems of asteroid defense, this paper proposes a NEA defense strategy of “Coming first, Going second, Circling third, Control fourth” and related scientific problems that need to be solved urgently, and clarifies the important role of geometric mechanics and control in this defense strategy, It provides a new theoretical basis for the near Earth asteroids defense, and a theoretical reference for the construction of defense system of NEA in China.
