    Very nice use of NOMAD! Thanks.

      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.

    • @adamsspaceresearch
      @adamsspaceresearch  4 місяці тому +3

      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.

    • @warpey5632
      @warpey5632 Рік тому +4

      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.

    • @Storywalker4
      @Storywalker4 4 місяці тому +1

      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.

    • @adamsspaceresearch
      @adamsspaceresearch  4 місяці тому +1

      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.
