Scientists involved in the project to protect the Earth from the threat of falling meteorites NEOShield, proposed the creation of a system of satellites bombers that a collision will change the trajectory of small celestial bodies. The process is divided into 3 phases: detection, threats analysis and its elimination. For the last step, of course, you need a lot of energy here, scientists have proposed to use disposable devices accelerated to enormous speeds. Currently, employees NEOShield able to accelerate millimeter to more than 22,000 miles per hour.

The exhibition AUVSI 2013 by Titan Aerospace project was presented autonomous aircraft powered by solar energy. Solara 50 is capable of carrying a payload to a height of 20,000 feet, and can become relatively cheaper and more versatile alternative to the low-orbit satellites – the time of its battery life without landing can be five years. Fuselage length of 15 meters, a wingspan of 50 meters and weight of 160 kg and a load capacity of 30 kg. Cruising speed unit 111 km / h One base station mounted on a mobile Solara 50 can replace a hundred land-based rigs. Entering the development is scheduled within the next five years.
