Harpoon Asteroid.

Wise lab suggestion is capture can be maintained by a grappling arm pipe as this would be the best way to constrict movement in space but its indefinably a wow project.

There a wealth within the Kuipter Belt, as this exercise hope to grind, thought on intention making spacecraft is given the go ahead. Also an effort to attain a better understanding of asteroids, meteors and other near-space objects. NASA perfect deep space mission since the moon landings. The space exploration arm of the US government plans to capture an asteroid, fly a crew to it in a next-generation spacecraft. Take a few samples and return home to a splashdown in the ocean yet having a potential sun shield this captured asteroid. Funding for the project is included in the space agency's is included in an upcoming budget.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a new mission - to capture an asteroid, send a spaceship to it and collect samples before returning home in less than a month round trip leaving a few eyebrows raise because of its complexities the first which object along with measurement and its trajectory. Revealed in the video that shows how Nasa astronauts will lasso an asteroid, take samples from it and return them to Earth. The plan was revealed this week in an animation released by the agency. Astronauts will shuttle to and from asteroids aboard the next-generation Orion spacecraft as this opens the way for new science its precise as exciting. NASA expects to capture its first asteroid by 2025. The latest version of the plan was revealed in an animation made public Thursday on that has a soundtrack that sounds like it came from the 'Dark Knight . 'We have liftoff' Where astronauts crews will ride the next-generation Orion spacecraft, to the captured asteroid.

Details on how exactly NASA plans to pluck an asteroid out of its trajectory are not known, but the rendering shows it captured and held inside what looks like a giant plastic bag.
This is then attached to solar panels that flare out to the side like wings. Called an ' asteroid redirect mission, 'it resembles more of a capture, and involves astronauts making the journey to their captive space rock by hitching a ride on the next-generation Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, which will also be used for trips to the Moon and Mars, according to NASA. The In-flight uses a combination of solar power and gravity-aided thrust, the Orion will make the 10 day trip to the asteroid.
There is an almost there approach. So once arrived, the Orion will dock with the captured asteroid. Though it bears a striking resemblance to the earlier Apollo Spacecraft, Orion can hold more crew and is far-more advanced and powerful, says NASA. Up to four people can be shuttled to the asteroid, compared to the maximum three in Apollo, in a trip that utilizes both solar power and the Moon's gravitational pull to power the spacecraft, according to the reports. Once the Orion docks with the remote-operated asteroid capture device.
The crew performs a spacewalk that sees them climb almost the length of the conjoined vehicles to an exposed section of the asteroid they take photos of and scoop samples from, the video shows 'Ready to go'. Once the Orion and the asteroid are attached, the astronauts take a spacewalk to the captured object Up to four people can be shuttled to the asteroid, compared to the maximum three in the old Apollo craft, in a trip that utilities both solar power and the Moon's gravitational pull to power the spacecraft precious.

The crew will then take pictures and samples of the captive space rock .
before returning to the Orion for the 10 day sojourn home Once the mission is complete, Orion returns to earth on the same path it journeyed out on, loop around the moon included, and splashes down in an ocean - likely the Pacific - 10 days later, as seen in the video. Announced in the aftermath of the asteroid that exploded over Russia last year, injuring well over a thousand people, NASA plans to dedicate $ 100 million to this project in the coming year, the agency said. It is not clear where the leftover asteroid would be jettisoned to.
If anywhere, nor is there word on what effect changing the orbit of one near-Earth object would have, let alone several Near-Earth objects are defined as those within 28 million miles of our home planet Roundabout:.. The Orion makes its roundabout journey to use gravity and conserve fuel  on its way home. The trip ends with a gentle splashdown in the ocean.
Explaining the government supports NASA's 'efforts to study Near Earth Objects,' Space subcommittee chairman Steven Palazzo (R-MS) said during a resent court appearance that the 'this proposal lacks in details, a justification or support from the NASA own advisory bodies' and 'appears to be a costly and complex distraction.' But an undeterred, NASA is moving forward, the agency expects to capture its first asteroid by 2025.
