“…Long-duration, low-thrust methods include solar ablation [1, 2], laser ablation [3], mass driver [4], gravity tractor [5, 6], solar sail [7, 8], NEO painting [9], enhanced Yarkovsky effect [10], recently the novel long tether and ballast method [11, 12], and high specific impulse rocket [13]. The deflection capability of these methods is relatively limited, and they require a long time to achieve a significant deflection.…”
