My latest blog which talks about a possible Solar Oberth trajectory to catch up with 3I/ATLAS with launch in 10 years time, and with a 20 year flight duration. The DeltaV needed at the Oberth is still very high, and would need 2-3 chemical rocket stages. i4is.org/3i-atlas-mis...

My latest blog. Oh dear, oh dear, more grist to the mill that 3I/ATLAS might be alien technology. For those of you intolerant to such ideas, ignore. adamhibberd.com/2025/11/01/3...

Please go to my latest paper with Avi Loeb and Adam Crowl, concerning utilizing the Juno spacecraft to intercept 3I/ATLAS: arxiv.org/abs/2507.21402 @i4interstellar.bsky.social

Go to my starshp blog for i4is which can be found here: i4is.org/wp-admin/pos... It raises a hypothetical question and mentions the various evidence in favour. It emphasises that the investigations are merely a pedagogical exercise. @i4interstellar.bsky.social Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2507.12213

Go to my latest starship blog for the Initiative for Interstellar Studies (i4is), concerning missions to the third interstellar object to be discovered, 3I/ATLAS: @i4interstellar.bsky.social i4is.org/missions-to-...

The optimal direct intercept launch date has elapsed (2024 July 19th launch), but an indirect route, using some combination of gravity assists, might be able to get there. Just looking into this. @i4interstellar.bsky.social

Could the 'Dark Comet' 1998 KY26, which will be intercepted by the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission in 2031, actually be a relic of the USSR space program (a Venera mission)? I think so and I am working on it. For the time being go to my latest research, here: arxiv.org/abs/2506.09478

Go to my latest piece of research, on arXiv, which suggests certain members of a new class of natural celestial body are in fact relics of the USSR Venera program: arxiv.org/abs/2506.09478

Go to my latest starship blog concerning the problem with 2024 YR4: i4is.org/2024-yr4-a-c...

A lot has been made of 2024 YR4 yet I'm still surprised by the sheer ignorance of certain people on the subject. An Indian student studying in Coventry from the Punjab in India who I talked to, had never heard of this object, and was totally oblivious of any danger.

Go to my recent starship blog post on the subject of a technique for determining the mass and therefore potential impact energy of the potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 YR4, by using a swarm of probes sent on a flyby mission: i4is.org/the-impact-e...

At the moment I am immersed in the study of missions to Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) 2024 YR4. Using my software 'Optimum Interplanetary Trajectory Software' (OITS), I have discovered plenty of viable flyby missions, sample return missions and rendezvous missions.

This Colour Contour map indicates launch dates and appropriate arrival dates for direct missions to potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) designated 2024 YR4.

Never, ever have known what to think of Boxing Day. All the festivities are over yet in another way the festivities are still well and truly ongoing.

I feel I must discard all my modesty and British reserve, and advertise this ResearchGate achievement, albeit quite a small one, but personally a very welcome early Christmas present!

I've been busy with the Grand Tour. The Solar System has loads of asteroids, most of them reside in the Asteroid Belt and go around the Sun between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter. But some stubbornly refuse to conform to this pattern and wander off the beaten track.
