Asteroid impact avoidance comprises a number of methods by which near-Earth objects (NEO) could be diverted, preventing destructive impact events. A sufficiently large impact by an asteroid or other NEOs would cause, depending on its impact location, massive tsunamis, multiple firestorms and an impact winter caused by the sunlight blocking effect of placing large quantities of pulverized rock dust, and other debris, into the stratosphere.
A collision between the Earth and an approximately 10-kilometre-wide object 66 million years ago is thought to have produced the Chicxulub Crater and the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, widely held responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs.
While the chances of a major collision are not great in the near term, there is a high probability that one will happen eventually unless defensive actions are taken. Recent astronomical events—such as the Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacts on Jupiter and the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor along with the growing number of objects on the Sentry Risk Table—have drawn renewed attention to such threats.
The Planetary Defense Coordination Office is a planetary defense organization within NASA’s Planetary Science Division. Its mission is to lead the coordination of interagency and intergovernmental efforts to plan responses to potential impact threats. Announced by NASA in January 2016, it is tasked with the job of cataloging and tracking potentially hazardous near-Earth objects (NEOs) such as asteroids and comets which are larger than 30 to 50 meters in diameter and coordinating an effective threat response and mitigation effort. The office will continue to utilize the polar orbitinginfrared telescopeNEOWISE to detect any potentially hazardous object (PHO).

NASA Says Planetary Defense Mission Was a Success
The results are in from the test mission to potentially save humanity. NASA was excited when its Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, mission successfully crashed a satellite into an asteroid seven million miles away from Earth. They say the impact, while small in the universe, was huge for the planet because it changed the asteroid’s trajectory. Scientists say they exceeded expectations by reducing the orbit by 32 minutes. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

Planetary Defense: Detection
NASA is on a mission to find all natural impact hazards to Earth and and determine a plan of action. To pose a threat, hazardous objects must be large enough and close enough to Earth. NASA detects and watches these objects with the help of observers across the globe, including both professional and amateur astronomers. NASA has successfully detected, tracked, and cataloged most of the largest near-Earth objects. NASA is working now on finding smaller objects to defend the planet against potential impact. NNSA is one of the Federal agencies with responsibilities for “planetary defense” or detecting and mitigating impact threats from potentially hazardous near-Earth objects, such as asteroids and comets. These efforts are part of an official national security focus for the United States.
