PHA and PHO detection

[ilo]

Ok, so... from what I've seen until now, the -tracking- options is the only method to identify what 'objects' may have a colliding trajectory on kerbin..

My question is, is there any mod/setup/whatever where I can just have a one or a few probes flying around detecting these objects and informing when a collision path is found?

Trying to get my daughter introduced into the N.E.O. and P.H.A. detection and I haven't found anything yet. If there is no any solution I'd develop it, just need guidance on what are the current options. I want a system to automatically detect the impacting objects only, without having to go to the station and track all of them manually.

Thank you in advance.

Sounds like an interesting idea. The only option in stock is the tracking station, and I haven't seen any mods that use or simulate a more realistic approach :/

The asteroids in KSP are randomly generated for a short-ish period and do not have any 'grand' orbital life-cycle so this would not be possible. When you 'track' one in the tracking centre this makes it persist, otherwise it'd just disappear after a while and be replaced by a new, random, one.

This is a consequence of when they were introduced to KSP - with the NASA Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) update. The mechanics deliberately do not affect anything else in the game so, unless you track any asteroids, they have no effect whatsoever on the rest of the system. A mod(el) which simulated many asteroids, which may or may not be Kerbin-crossing, would have to do a lot more work tracking orbits than the existing computation-engine is designed for.

Will keep trying to find something and digging around for more info, but seems a very funny project to work in! I'll keep waiting for more answers a couple of days before setting as answered.

Thank you
