Scientists are developing a kamikaze satellites to protect the Earth from meteorites

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.
