Pfupisa nyaya yacho:  Iroto rakaipa romuchadenga - kana asteroid ikaonekwa ichinanga kuPasi, rudzi rwomunhu rwaigona kuitei pamusoro payo? Basa razvino uno reEuropean Space Agency rinokarira kuwana kana kuputsika kwariri kuchabetsera. Iri kushanda neNASA kuti itumire nzvimbo yokumhara ichirovera pamwedzi muduku weasteroid pamakiromita 14,000 paawa kuti ione chinoitika. Dzorera pasi kuti uone vhidhiyo. Kurovera! Mufananidzo womufananidzo wezvingaitika apo ngarava yacho inorova asteroid. Nyanzvi dzinovimba kuti kurova kwacho kuchava kukuru zvakakwana kuchinja nharaunda yacho. Basa racho richaitwa muzvikamu zviviri, uye mwedzi uno wakaratidza kutanga kwebasa rokugadzira rokutanga reESA's Asteroid Impact Mission, kana kuti AIM. Yakagadzirirwa kuratidzira unyanzvi hwokugadzira zvinhu nokuda kwemishandirapamwe yomunguva yemberi yomunzvimbomo, AIM ichavawo nzvero yokutanga-tanga yeArhente yemitoo yokudzivirira nyika. Yakatangwa muna Gumiguru 2020, AIM ichaenda kune binary asteroid system <unk> iyo yakasanganiswa Didymos asteroids, iyo ichauya padyo padyo nemamiriyoni gumi nematanhatu emakiromita kuPasi muna 11. Mutumbi mukuru une dhayamita yemamita 800 unotenderedzwa nemwedzi une mamita 170, unonzi zvisina kurongwa 'Didymoon'. Uyu muviri muduku ndiyo nharidzano yeAIM: ngarava yomuchadenga ichaita mepu dzokuona dzakakwirira, dzokupisa uye dzeradar dzomwedzi kuvaka mepu dzakadzama dzechiso chayo nechimiro chomukati. AIM ichaburitsawo mudziyo wokumhara <unk> ESA's first touchdown on a small body since Rosetta's Philae landed on a comet last November. CubeSats mbiri kana kupfuura dzichatumirwawo kubva mungarava huru kuti dziunganidze mamwe mashoko esayenzi ari pedyo nomwedzi. Zvakawanikwa neAIM zvichadzorerwa nechinhu chinonzi laser link chine simba guru kuESA's Optical Ground Station iri kuTenerife muCanary Islands. 'AIM inofanira kuunganidza pfuma yesayenzi yakawanda - kuwana nzwisiso inokosha mukuumbwa kweSystem yedu yeZuva - asi mabasa aya achagadzirawo nhandare yechiitiko chenhau chiri kuuya,' sangano renzvimbo rinodaro. Kubonderana kwakadaro kwakaitika muna 2005, apo mudziyo womuchadenga weNASA unonzi Deep Impact wakapfura mudziyo unopinza mhangura muasteroid inonzi Tempel 1. Asi mwedzi weDidymos wakaderera kakapetwa kagumi pane Tempel 1, zvikuru kwazvo...
Chikepe cheESA chichatanga muna Gumiguru 2020 kuenda kune imwe asteroid system. Maasteroid maviri eDidymos, achauya pedyo zvikuru makiromita 11m. Ichatora mifananidzo ine tsanangudzo yakakwirira yepasi ndokuiongorora. Chikepe chichaona sezvo NASA inotumira muongororwo unopunzika pamusoro peasteroid.
