Options for Extended Exploration

1. Planetary scientists have determined that an asteroid may be considered potentially hazardous if it comes within 0.05 au of Earth. No such number exists for other planets, because the absence of life means there is no “hazard.” But in the future, humans may inhabit Mars. If you were to calculate a minimum hazard distance for Mars, would it be more or less than 0.05 au? Explain what factors you considered in making your decision.
   
2. NEAs are divided into four groups (Atira, Aten, Apollo and Amor).
   1. What distribution of PHAs belong to each of the four classes of NEOs?
   2. Can you develop explanations for any patterns you detect?
   3. Do more PHAs seem to originate from a certain class of NEOs, such as Amors, Apollos, etc.?
      

More information about the four classes of NEOs is here.
