The design approach is found to be useful for multi-deflection campaign planning, allowing us to select the best possible combination of missions from a catalogue of campaign options, without compromising the campaign credibility.
The results of the dual-deflection campaign analysis show that there are trade-offs between the competing aspects: the launch cost, mission duration, deflection distance, and the confidence in successful deflection.
This action includes preliminary designs for a gravity tractor NEO deflection mission campaign, and for a kinetic impactor mission campaign in which the spacecraft is capable of either functioning as a kinetic impactor or delivering a nuclear explosive device.
It is therefore imperative to comprehensively evaluate the inherent uncertainty in deflection and plan the campaign accordingly to ensure successful mitigation.
This research demonstrates dual-deflection mitigation campaigns consisting of primary (instantaneous/quasi-instantaneous) and secondary (slow-push) deflection missions, where both deflection efficiency and campaign credibility are taken into account.
Multiple independent deflection attempts are considered as means to increase campaign effectiveness.
Tom Evenson, a spokesman for Mr. Walker's campaign, described the new ad as a deflection.
The atmosphere at IKEA reminded me of that of a political campaign, with true believers, whispering skeptics, inside jokes, and deflection of even the most innocuous questions.
Campaign and mission timelines, launch vehicle(s) and spacecraft, deflection option(s), and resource and technology requirements are some of the considerations that are addressed.
Trump also dismissed the Clinton campaign's charge that he was being helped by Russia as a "total deflection".
