Thank you Sebastien - for this application, I found that for finding the globally optimal solution quickly, NOMAD was far superior to other Global NLP algorithms I tried, especially with the VNS option selected. Nonetheless it can take some time to converge in on the precise solution, sometimes hovering around it for quite a while. I have also used MIDACO, however it takes much longer on the whole to find the global optimum, but once it has done, it converges on the precise solution extremely quickly. Therefore a combination of the two NLP algorithms, NOMAD first then MIDACO, makes OITS a very powerful tool.
At most a relative speed of 30 km/s, for other missions scenarios down to at least 18 km/s. Note that the Giotto mission encountered Halleys comet at 69 km/s.
If Oumuamua is an artificially driven or deliberately steered space object by other intelligent beings, do we have earthlings the means to capture or investigate extensively such synthetic thing? Just asking. Thanks.
We can't bring back samples but we can definitely go to it to photograph and analyze it. It would definitely help us determine whether the object was designed by intelligent extraterrestrials or is simply an asteroid that formed in a different star system.
Simply put, no. Not without radical changes to our available propulsion technology and a huge development of spaceborne infrastructure. And, well, if it was artificial we'd know. It'd be accelerating.
A (1) sample return to Earth or even a (2) rendezvous mission (to match velocities with 'Oumuamua), would require considerable on-board fuel to slow down at the target ((2) above) and then alter the probe's velocity to return home ((1) above), extra mass which would make such missions simply unviable. We do not currently have the tech. to do either of these tasks. However with significant investment in new propulsion technologies, such as magentic/electric sails or NTP (Nuclear Thermal Propulsion) we may be able to accomplish (2) above within reasonable timescales. In the mean time we would still be able to flyby it and get a good view of it if we so desired.
Jeb is ready
Inaccurate, the vehicle should be named Untitled Spacecraft.
Ready for his indefinite journey
Bob Kerman would be better suited tbh
"won't you fly high, free bird"
"Yeah"
Very nice use of NOMAD! Thanks.

@@adamsspaceresearch Wow, thanks for these details! We are currently trying to improve the VNS option.
Wow it would be a unbelievable project
Time is running out, we need to start organising the mission ASAP.
@@adamsspaceresearch this universe is like ocean and we still not understand a single drop.. I’m I’ll be happy if this project successful ❤️
It's gonna outspeed voyager lol.
well, it has to
*free bird plays*
i wish i could help make this a reality, this is really cool
Cool idea, how fast does it fly past 'Oumuamua?
Around 31 km/s
Lyra will be flying about 50 km/s, on target at 2052
I think they mean speed relative to Oumuamua
At most a relative speed of 30 km/s, for other missions scenarios down to at least 18 km/s. Note that the Giotto mission encountered Halleys comet at 69 km/s.
I mean, why not? I guress many people and scientists want to know the secrets of 'Oumuamua
Where is the probe going after it flys past this object? Which direction is it heading?
@@DominicGonsalves007 Oumuamua's escape asymptote is in the constellation of Pegasus.
is it too late?
Unless this asteroid has somehow magically accelerated again, we still have time to lunch such a probe.
So we are going to do the same thing the Omuamua did? 😆 seems to me that we are in fact going to intercept an alien spaceship
We have no idea if it even is an alien spaceship
What makes you so sure it's aliens?
Well I didn't get this engineering degree for nothing I'm open to work on a satellite even if it was organize publicly, maybe a cubesat even

@@adamsspaceresearch Couldn't we collect a sample of 'Oumuamua' and retrieve it later?
제발 진행되길 바란다
최선을 다하겠습니다
