Scientists are developing a way to deflect asteroids that are on the path to collide with the Earth, by studying the Chelyabinsk meteor which exploded over Russian skies in 2013. The research focuses on the study of the asteroid Chelyabinsk, which exploded over Russian skies in 2013 after passing through the atmosphere. In particular, the hardness, elasticity and fracture resistance, which could all be determinants for the success of a kinetic projectile attempting to deflect an asteroid's orbit.
