Abstract

This   report  dedicates,   to   modern   researches   which   are   continued   new  ver-
sions   development   of   orbital   action   modules   on   the  asteroid.   Main   attention   has
been centered to module versions which are capabled to change the trajectory of
asteroid “Apophis” by this means to prevent its encounter with Earth. We propose
technical appearance versions of orbital modules for the triple stages of action on
asteroid “Apophis”.
Module structure of the first stage bases on accepted reliable technical deci-
sions. The action impulse of the first stage module is reasonable for exception of
asteroid   “Apophis”   penetration   into   gravity   “trap”  under   its   flight   past   Earth   in
2029. The action module of the second stage is capabled to prevent the possible
collision of asteroid “Apophis” with magnetic field of Earth and                 planets and so
application of multiple use on-board        power-carrieres.
The action modules of the third stage, for calculations, should be capabled
such to change the trajectory of asteroid “Apophis” that it could not threaten by the
collision with Earth
