Scientific Objectives and Configuration Payloads of Asteroid Defense Test Missions

Abstract

As for China’s first near-Earth asteroid defense on-orbit verification mission，the defensive disposal of the potential risk of near-Earth asteroid impact on the Earth was verified. The scientific objectives，scientific exploration mission were put forward，the scientific payload requirements analysis was conducted，scientific payload configuration was proposed. This study may provide a basis for decision-making for the implementation of the future asteroid defense missions .
