Description: 3D sketch of a plasma electromagnetic thruster attaching to an asteroid for asteroid impact avoidance. There are 3 drilling augers that dig a few feet deep to get a good grip on the asteroid. The Pulsed plasma electromagnetic thruster changes the orbital inclination of the asteroid so that it doesn't collide with the earth.
