The Way Of The Stones: The use of asteroids to transport cargo between Earth and Mars (English Edition: for United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, India and Brazil)

This book is the result of almost 2 years of research that sought to map the asteroids that transit between Earth and Mars, in order to enable their use for cargo transport (which should be intensified with SpaceX and NASA seeking to colonize Mars to the beginning of the next decade).<br><br>For this, NASA databases were used to analyze and filter the objects that are in our solar system, and that fit the purpose of this research. In the end, we expected to obtain a detailed mapping of the most suitable asteroids for use in cargo transport on the Earth-Mars route, with structural and orbit characteristics of these objects, as well as multi-ride possibilities, thus optimizing travel time and expanding release windows for these purposes. But we got more:<br><br>- The prepaper of this research was published in the Revista Brasileira de Física!<br>- Presentation of research and preliminary results at the II Congress of the Exact Sciences Area, held by UNINTER<br> Presentation of the final results at the II Brazilian Congress of Physics, held by the Revista Brasileira de Física<br>- The creation of a citizen science platform where the scientific community and the general public will be able to collaborate with the project, categorizing the asteroids filtered in the research, to be used in the...<br>- application responsible for searching and viewing the next launch windows (both for those on Earth and for those on Mars).<br><br>This book details how the research process was until we reached the final results!
