Sailing to Apophis

Adam Hibberd

September 2022

Of the existential threats posed by celestial objects to our Earth, the cradle of humanity and currently our only life-support, there are myriad such candidates. In fact we are in a veritable astronomical mine-field, the key question is not if but when. Take comets for instance. These objects composed primarily of dust and ice, originate in a spherical shell encompassing the Solar System at sun distances of between around 2000 au and 200,000 au.

They have inconspicuously lived in this domain, the Oort Cloud, for billions of years, and they will continue to inhabit it indefinitely, unless a gravitational nudge, say from galactic tides or maybe some passing object such as a rogue planet, send them hurtling towards our sun on a highly eccentric, low perihelion orbit, and on a potential collision-course with Earth. With collision speeds up to 70km/s, an impact would be devastating. But what other potentially hazardous objects (PHO) should concern us?

Interstellar objects (ISO), visitors to our Solar System after travelling vast distances through interstellar space, are also possible doomsday machines. Because of their high speeds their damage potential is even greater than comets, and what’s more we have direct evidence of just such an impact through work by Siraj and Loeb indicating a bolide observed in 2014 was interstellar, but that’s another story.

In addition near Earth asteroids (NEA) are generally connected with the asteroid belt, a diffuse collection of bodies which circle the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The news here is good in that NASA is pretty certain that they have mapped most of these asteroids and are confident that there will be no Earth strike in at least the next 100 years.

All this doom-and-gloom is pivotal to the argument for humanity to seek pastures new and move into space – perhaps as a means to an end, human habitation of space, or perhaps in order to actually go somewhere and colonise other planets, possibly terraforming as we go. In my view this ambition tends to ignore one very basic premise and that is we are already on a spaceship, a massive ecosystem built not entirely by ourselves, but by the laws of nature, an abode in which billions can live unaided, without space suits. Earth has fabricated our collective support system by a combination of location, atmosphere and magnetic field. In this context surely we should be seeking to extend our existence here, we need a long term plan both to halt and reverse climate change and environmental pollution, and to address the concern I mentioned above – an effective planetary defence system. Well some US colleagues and I have noble ambitions in this regard.

Figure 1 Ground Track of Apophis as it Encounters Earth on 13th April 2029

Have you heard of Apophis? The erudite reader will know of this Egyptian deity as the god of Chaos. Apophis is in fact a very appropriate name for an NEA which when discovered frightened the hell out of NASA personnel as initial predictions indicated high likelihood of Earth impact. Further observations ruled out this catastrophe, but such is the orbit of Apophis that it will inevitably come around near Earth again and again – the next swing-by being Friday the 13th of April, 2029. This hair-raising encounter – below geosynchronous satellite altitude – will be a terrific opportunity for scientists, conveying to us a treasure trove of scientific data. So why not land a spacecraft on it?

But why land a spacecraft on it? Well my colleagues and I have the future existence and prosperity of human-kind in mind here because we feel if our project is funded by NIAC (NASA Initiative for Advanced Concepts), this would genuinely and materially contribute to the NASA planetary defence objectives.

Figure 2 Apophis Ground Track over the USA after Perigee

Furthermore it would also support a far-sighted and visionary ambition to send miniature spacecraft to the nearest system to our own, Proxima Centauri, the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative (BSI). Rocket engineers would warn of the tyranny of the Tsiolkovsky equation here, but don’t fret, these spacecraft have no onboard rocket propellant, their thrust is provided by light, incident upon sails, and emitted by extremely powerful GW (gigawatt) Earth-based lasers. You could view the propellant not as a chemical, but as light itself, which can deliver a force – radiation pressure – when it reflects off any suitably interposed object. Laser sails must have a large area to weight ratio to maximise the acceleration delivered by the drive laser, and speeds of 0.2c are envisaged, 20% of the speed of light. With this initiative, humanity can explore our galactic environs without requiring huge and lumbering habitable world-ships, a concept which in my view should be confined to the realms of science-fiction. It is with robotic missions that humanity can explore the universe.

But how are laser-sails and planetary defence connected? This is where our NIAC proposal comes in. Let us imagine that a Potentially Hazardous Object, PHO, is discovered. Surely just as a boxer before entering the ring should know all his opponent’s strengths and vulnerabilities (if he is sensible); then so should humanity have the capability to scrutinise the exact nature and severity of the threat from any PHO, allowing commensurate responsive countermeasures to be undertaken. A rocket mission on stand-by would be logistically demanding, expensive and could not be tailored to the precise PHO in question, a costly broad-brush approach would need to be adopted, which probably couldn’t cover all eventualities.

Our team say that laser-sails can come to the rescue here, especially if the drive laser were mobile. You see, at least in principle, a laser-sail driven by an Earth-based laser can go distant places really fast, as long as the necessary laser infrastructure is available. Sure the technology doesn’t exist at the moment – the realisation of the BSI remains decades into the future and the technology is comparatively primitive at the moment compared to the predictions as to what can be eventually achieved.

But we have calculated that by 2029, the time of the celestial visitation, we can develop the tech to send a laser-sail up to the giddy heights of the Apophis closest approach, around 30,000km altitude. Way short of Proxima Centauri, true - but nevertheless not only a technological stepping-stone to humanity’s dream of interstellar travel but very importantly, it augurs the ability for rapid-response to threats to our own planet, to save us all from the prospect of oblivion.

Now I work with trajectories, and a while ago I developed some software, Optimum Interplanetary Trajectory Software (OITS). Not too far from the back of my mind was the problem of planetary defence and for this reason I decided to make the software available publicly (github) to democratise it – so that anyone could work out intercept trajectories to PHOs, should any candidates turn-up (allowing anyone to plot a trajectory to save the planet).

As far as the NIAC is concerned, I decided that maybe I could contribute something on the trajectory side but it was understood that the proposal hinged on development of the technology – the laser-sail – not necessarily the details of the mission, though the NIAC instructions to applicants suggests that everything must have a solid mission context. This was an excuse for me to develop some bespoke software, but first we need to look at the trajectory Apophis will follow as it encounters Earth – look at Figure 1 & Figure 2.

As far as the sail trajectory is concerned, the 15 MW (megawatt) drive laser required for this venture would need a helpful hand from a Black Brant sounding rocket. Historically, such rockets have been launched from Wallops Island on multiple occasions. You may observe that Wallops is not far off the ground track of Apophis, and at the time of passage by Wallops, has travelled beyond its perigee point (mid-Atlantic) and started its out-bound path away from the Earth, sweeping a curve almost right through the centre of the USA.

Figure 3 Trajectory of Laser Sail - launch from Wallops

The trajectory of the laser sail after release by the Black Brant, including its initial acceleration by the drive laser which lasts precisely 1000s, can be seen in  Figure 3.

Figure 4 Trajectory of Laser Sail - launch from Spaceport America

But Wallops is not the only candidate for a launch and laser location, why not Spaceport America? Situated in New Mexico, and the location for the Virgin Galactic Hub, Spaceport America may seem a bit too far south of the asteroid’s ground track. It turns out not so – refer to  Figure 4. Charts of reference data for the Wallops trajectory are shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5 Flight Parameters for Initial Wallops Location

But what about the cause of the westward motion of the sail after an initial eastward bearing? Note the yellow altitude bars are not drawn to scale, the altitudes reached by the sail are upwards of 35,000 km, and the direction of the sail acceleration delivered by the laser upon the sail’s release from the Black Brant (at 150km) is largely vertical with only a comparatively small Eastward component. This high vertical velocity component is ideal for a pseudo force seen in rotating reference frames such as the Earth’s – the Coriolis Force to take full effect and which indeed will act in a Westward direction. From the point of view of the sail it will rise to such a height that the Earth’s rotation will move the Earth Eastward with respect to it, hence the westward trajectories observed by someone located on Earth.

 I end this blog with the i4is motto – Scientia ad Sidera – knowledge to the stars, but let’s reverse that sentiment. I firmly believe that it is through collective continual acquirement of knowledge, scientific knowledge, from what we observe and measure of our environment that we – humanity - shall find our salvation. It is through knowledge that we can understand any threats – celestial, viral, bacterial, terrestrial, and so on – and take responsive action to ensure our continued survival. If we didn’t have astronomy, we wouldn’t know about Apophis or other PHOs and so our extermination would be sudden and unavoidable. We have our science, let us use it positively to ensure our continued existence and to allow us to live comfortably in the space we inhabit.

A Precursor Mission to Proxima Centauri

31 October 2024

A Mission to Five Near Earth Objects in 2030 Adam Hibberd We at i4is, together with our collaborators on the Phase I NIAC (NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts) at Space Initiatives Inc., have been contemplating precursors to the ultimate mission of sending laser sails to swarm our nearest neighbouring star, Proxima Centauri. A summary of the […]

Deflecting Apophis

26 October 2024

Adam Hibberd There have been some developments. I have been addressing the problem of how to deflect Apophis from its path if it were indeed on a collision course with Earth. My Apocalypse Plot gives the magnitude of ΔV at different points in Apophis’s orbit to send it on a course to JUST strike the […]

Apophis: More Monolythical Mathematical Musings.

29 September 2024

Adam Hibberd Apophis gets awfully close on Friday April 13th 2029 (within GEO altitude). Its orbit is altered by the encounter with Earth and the obvious question is will there be any further possible encounters? Some of you may remember I have worked on the practicalities of sending laser-accelerated sails to intercept Apophis as it […]

Errors in Velocity Due to an Interstellar Probe’s Fast Encounter with a Star

23 July 2024

Adam Hibberd A spacecraft is travelling on a very hyperbolic orbit w.r.t. an object X (possibly a star) which has gravitational mass, μ, meaning the spacecraft is only slightly deflected from its direction of motion. Our task is to quantify the errors in velocity, both longitudinal and transverse, associated with this encounter compared to simply […]

‘Oumuamua: Lasers in Space

16 May 2024

Adam Hibberd In my latest research, I have been considering the case of using laser structures in space to accelerate space laser sails to sufficient speed so that they will ultimately reach the first discovered interstellar object, 1I/’Oumuamua, within a matter of years from launch, or even as soon as a year. This is clearly […]

Measurement of Mass by Space Sails

16 February 2024

Adam Hibberd I’ve been doing a little algebra. Let me state the problem. Let us say we have a swarm of space sails flying edge on to the interstellar medium (ISM). This swarm lies in a plane at right angles to its velocity relative to this ISM. Now lets bring in an element of the […]

Project Lyra: A Solar Oberth at 10 Solar Radii

5 January 2024

Adam Hibberd I have recently returned my attention to the Solar Oberth mission to ‘Oumuamua. For readers not familiar with this celestial body, 1I/’Oumuamua was the first interstellar object to be discovered passing through our Solar System, is now out of range of our most powerful telescopes and has left scientists with many questions in […]

Swarming Proxima

20 November 2023

Adam Hibberd Breakthrough Starshot is the Initative to send a probe at 20% light speed (0.2c) to the nearest neighbouring star Proxima Centauri. But how do we achieve such a high speed? It turns out that if we have an extremely powerful laser (and exponential advances in tech over the next decades will mean that […]

Laser and Sail in Earth Orbit with Evolutionary Neurocontrol

24 October 2023

Adam Hibberd In my last post I explained how my software development, Optimum Interplanetary Trajectory Software (OITS), seems to achieve miracles of intelligent design in a fashion analogous to evolution, though in fact with both cases evidently no intelligence is involved – instead simple mechanisms combined with iteration are at work. This concept stimulated me […]

OITS Takes on Evolution

10 September 2023

Adam Hibberd The more I think about evolution through natural selection the more I see analogues to my software development Optimum Interplanetary Trajectory Software. (I should make it clear at this early stage in my post that OITS does NOT employ a genetic/evolutionary algorithm approach, I shall elucidate below.) You see there is NO intent […]

How Close did ‘Oumuamua Approach Each of the Inner Planets?

2 September 2023

Adam Hibberd A view of the distance of ‘Oumuamua from each of the Inner Planets as it rounded the sun, reached perihelion and then sped away again. Mars was just about as far away as it could possibly have been from ‘Oumuamua. ‘Oumuamua came very close to Earth (around 0.16 au). It came no closer […]

Was Loeb’s Bolide Interstellar?

1 September 2023

Adam Hibberd Loeb’s interstellar spherules have caused controversy and indignation amongst experts in the science community. For those of you not-in-the-know, Loeb travelled to the site of a proposed interstellar meteor (his designation: IM1) which he had identified in a catalogue of bolides held by NASA and then discovered in the ocean tiny metallic blobs he […]

‘Oumuamua – a Sci-Fi Story or Reality?

23 August 2023

Adam Hibberd Let me tell you all a story. It is the story of life and its purpose. I ask you to bear with me here as Project Lyra and ‘Oumuamua will make an appearance eventually – I promise. Many of you will be familiar with the idea that the universe might be some kind […]

‘Oumuamua: The Mystery Unfolds

20 August 2023

Adam Hibberd Those of you who have been following my Project Lyra blogs know that I have over the past year or so done some extensive analysis of ‘Oumuamua’s trajectory. You may refer to previous posts on the i4is website to get an understanding of exactly what I have been up to, or alternatively continue […]

Psyche: OITS has Something to Say

18 August 2023

Adam Hibberd Here’s a mission to asteroid Psyche for you. Initial theories favoured Psyche as a core of a failed protoplanet, containing vast reserves of metals. More recent research, however favour alternative origin theories. Whatever is the case, we are about to discover its true nature and this would be a huge step forwards for […]

Project Lyra: Ignore the outlier and miss an opportunity

31 July 2023

Adam Hibberd Wouldn’t you like an answer to the question: What is ‘Oumuamua? There have been many theories, but there is no real consensus. The only way to answer this would be to send a spacecraft to observe ‘Oumuamua in situ but the total lack of will-power to get this question answered, in my view, […]

The Case of Fireball CNEOS 2017-10-09

28 July 2023

Adam Hibberd Around the middle of last year I read an article by Siraj and Loeb in which they analysed closely a database of bolides (which are meteor fireballs) maintained by NASA-JPL CNEOS (Center for Near Earth Object Studies). In so doing they identified at least one bolide as having an interstellar origin (designated CNEOS […]

Project Lyra: The Mission to Resolve a Mystery

4 July 2023

Adam Hibberd Project Lyra is the study of the feasibility of a spacecraft mission to the first interstellar object to be discovered passing through our Solar System, designated 1I/’Oumuamua. I have now authored and co-authored a total of nine Project Lyra papers. The considerable number of science papers (many now peer-reviewed, several still to be […]

Optimum Interplanetary Trajectory Software: The Secrets Revealed

25 June 2023

Adam Hibberd In the UK Spring of 2017, I derived the theory for solving interplanetary trajectories, which enabled me to develop a powerful software tool for optimising hight thrust spacecraft missions, a tool which I called Optimum Interplanetary Trajectory Software (OITS). For those of you fascinated by mathematics, in particular mathematical formulae, the two equations […]

Laser Sails: Trajectories Using Optimum Interplanetary Trajectory Software

16 June 2023

It struck me a while ago that I have developed this extremely effective tool for solving interplanetary trajectories (OITS), so how would I be able to exploit it for alternative applications – applications which would be beyond its originally intended purpose, that of designing trajectories for chemically propelled spacecraft (and in the process assuming impulsive […]

Mars Ride-Share: an Opportunity Not to be Missed

14 June 2023

Adam Hibberd I was recently discussing with my colleagues across the pond, the potential for mounting a cheap mission to some alternative, yet interesting destination in the inner Solar System, by exploiting a ‘ride-share’ with a more important mission, possibly one organised by NASA or ESA. It struck me that since there have been, and […]

C/2014 UN271 the comet which will NOT collide with the Earth

4 April 2023

Adam Hibberd An Oort cloud comet is composed primarily of dust and ice and has spent most of its life in the far-flung distant reaches of our Solar System (2,000 au to 200,000 au from our Sun). It is eventually nudged inward towards our Sun by gravitational influences such as galactic tides or some passing […]

Project Lyra: Falcon Heavy Expendable

27 March 2023

Adam Hibberd Following on from my previous blog where I studied the capability of the up-coming Ariane 6 4 launcher in terms of delivering a spacecraft on a course to intercept the first interstellar object to be discovered, ‘Oumuamua, I continue this logical progression with analysis of a more powerful launcher, the Falcon Heavy. The […]

Project Lyra: Using an Ariane 6

16 March 2023

Adam Hibberd Ariane 6 is the up-and-coming successor to the old Arianespace workhorse, Ariane 5, and may secure its maiden flight later this year. There will ultimately be two strap-on booster configurations from which to choose, one with two boosters, and the more powerful version with four. I thought it might be worthwhile assessing the […]

Optimum Interplanetary Trajectory Software (OITS)

15 February 2023

Adam Hibberd I started development of this software, OITS, in April 2017 on a holiday near the little town of Cheadle, in the county of Staffordshire, UK. I started from the very basics, deriving the theory during the holiday and continuing shortly thereafter, and then immersed myself in the implementation of the equations I had […]

Music of ‘Oumuamua

30 January 2023

Adam Hibberd If you have a fascination for the mysterious interstellar object ‘Oumuamua and are musically inclined, please check out these two pieces by my musician friend Robin Jax based on recordings of me playing two piano compositions of mine. Whether it be Robin’s neurodivergence, or my own schizophrenia, we have both overcome our respective […]

Things to Come

22 January 2023

Adam Hibberd I sometimes wonder at the short-sightedness of people. The sort of people who scoff and scorn at the far-sighted work which most of my work colleagues and I have dedicated a good deal of our lives to pursue, largely voluntarily. They may argue: We have such and such a problem NOW, how are […]

Project Lyra: Using Jupiter Alone to get to ‘Oumuamua

9 January 2023

Adam Hibberd Here is a ‘pork chop plot’ of missions to ‘Oumuamua using a Jupiter powered gravitational assist (or a Jupiter Oberth Manoeuvre, JOM). Refer to the Figure (1). Essentially, what we have are three coordinates where firstly the horizontal axis shows the launch date, the vertical axis shows the flight duration, and for every […]

‘Oumuamua: The State of Play

30 December 2022

Adam Hibberd In 2017, an interstellar object was discovered, the first ever to be detected. It was observed by the Hawaiian observatory Pan-STARRS, subsequently studied by many telescopes before disappearing into the distance in January 2018. An estimate on the number density, N (how many per unit volume), in interstellar space was determined based on […]

Why the Stars?

24 November 2022

Adam Hibberd November 2022 People may ask the question why we should venture beyond our solar system to explore the stars? Why should we commit precious resources to such an endeavour? I have an answer to this which may to some degree be a personal one. The question boils down to why are we curious? […]

Exploring ‘Oumuamua’s Trajectory – Further Notes

9 November 2022

Adam Hibberd November 2022 In my last blog I reported the progress of my work regarding the intriguing little conundrum of the first interstellar object (ISO) to be discovered, designated ‘Oumuamua, in particular my research into its orbit. In fact ‘Oumuamua is puzzling on many counts and I have also in a previous blog elaborated […]

Exploring ‘Oumuamua’s Perihelion Date

31 October 2022

Adam Hibberd October 2022 This blog may be a bit cheeky but do take heed of the last line before jumping to any conclusions! I’ve been mucking around with ‘Oumuamua’s orbit on my computer lately. Mucking around in the sense of playing with its orbital parameters and seeing what crops up. Those of you who […]

3I/ATLAS: What if?

17 July 2025

Adam Hibberd My paper with Adam Crowl and Avi Loeb is out today, and we have collectively been doing what scientists and philosophers have been doing since time immemorial, and that is asking questions, and exercising our imaginations in the process. In this case the question goes like this: ‘is 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar interloper […]

Missions to 3I/ATLAS

8 July 2025

Adam Hibberd The third interstellar object is causing a bit of a stir. What could it be exactly? Judging by its predicted path, we should get a ring-side view of it from Earth, except for an important viewing outage as it approaches perihelion – the closest approach to the Sun – simply because it will […]
