Protecting the Planet from the Asteroid Hazard

A project is presented to create in Mars' orbit a protective stations belt (PSB) designed to bring down the asteroid hazard to the Earth, based on an interplanetary spacecraft (ISC) of a new type. This project may as well contribute to the investigation of fundamental problems of astronomy and astrophysics in the study of the properties of deep space using space platforms. The project is based on technical realizations which feasibility derives from the cosmological theory of byuon (TB) about the formation of the physical space and the world of elementary particles along with the experimental findings about new properties of nature: a new force that is used in the form of thrust for spacecrafts and a new quantum information channel providing a connection between the Earth, the PSB and the ISC. The results of experimental investigations about the traction force with a ground model of spacecraft are recalled, confirming the existence of a global anisotropy of physical space as predicted by the theory of byuon, as well as the technical feasibility to harness the new force in order to implement new concept space thrusters significantly more energy-effective than existing models. An action plan to implement the creation of the ISC is worked out.
