06. Would spaceflight controllers be able to warn us about approaching meteors and asteroids? (A K2S Question)
From The Space Library
This may be possible but it is more likely that there will be a network of distant satellites or other unmanned spacecraft that will be sent deep into the solar system to monitor approaching meteors and asteroids. If any such object is detected, a message would be sent to many different Earth stations at the same time.
