Canadian Space Agency is launching a satellite size of a large suitcase to track down dangerous asteroids passing nearby our planet. The recent meteor explosion above Russia’s Urals sparked hot debates on how to protect Earth from space threats.
The $12-million satellite weights a mere 65kg, but it will be searching space 24-hours a day for objects potentially dangerous to Earth. It is specially designed to disclose objects between Earth and the sun, previously undetectable from the ground because of the bright light of our star.
Named Near-Earth Object Space Surveillance Satellite (NEOSSat), the satellite was jointly developed by Defense Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). NEOSSat will be launched together with three other Canadian-built satellites by an Indian rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, India at 12:26 GMT on Monday.
