The GES system consists primarily of the orbiting five-satellite system with attendant A.I. piloted impactors parked in deep space. The system is integrated from the ground up to space. The different arms of the system, a set of detectors and interceptors work together to provide a layer of safety for the whole planet, covering all of Earth’s inhabitants. By design astronomical telescopes on the ground can feed into the system helping track and identify cosmic objects. The ground-based telescopes, which are much larger, are able to peer deeper into space, and help identify objects well before they are within range of the GES. The GES will detect and respond to threats beyond Mars orbit. The system is future-proof and complements the very large telescopes currently under development, and in various stages of construction. The GES system introduces moon-based industrial assembly plants and solar power stations transmitting extra energy to Earth.
The recent DART (Double asteroid re-direction test) experiment by NASA is noteworthy and to be celebrated. A small step in the right direction.
The SSO and other astronomical telescopes on Earth may work with the space based virtual telescopes to produce the most detailed views of the Earth creating the largest virtual telescope in the world.
Five satellites carrying telescopes orbit the earth as part fo the GES system. Two polar orbits and three geosynchronous orbits giving unparalleled view of the Earth.
Long range use of projected super high frequency soundwaves to cause fractures (fragmentation) within asteroids and comets of crystalline composition once they enter the atmosphere. Major cities will benefit from having these canons.
A modified rocket carrying a weight which functions to stop or deflect asteroids using principles of propeller dynamics. The NEO can be adapted for collecting junk in orbit by attaching an electromagnet in place of the whacker mass.
