Anti-asteroid robots designed
SpaceWorks Engineering Incorporated has designed nuclear-powered robots to divert asteroids on a collision course to earth, SACM reports.
The robots, dubbed MADMEN (Modular Asteroid Deflection Mission Ejector Node), will divert the asteroids by drilling into them and expelling asteroid chunks into space using electromagnetic acceleration.
The company`s research is under a NASA-awarded grant and is still at an early stage.
