The direct impact of a spacecraft into a threatening object may be a feasible NEO deflection method [1]. It relies primarily on ejecting surface material off the object surface, which changes the linear momentum of the hazardous object and its subsequent trajectory. But that ejection process depends on the structure and size of an asteroid and has not been studied in any detail. We have initiated a laboratory, computational and theoretical effort to study that problem.
