With the success of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission in 2022, humanity has now demonstrated that we have a viable technology to deflect asteroids. But what comes next? This seminar will provide an overview of the hazards posed by near-Earth object impacts, the state of the field, and outline what needs to be done in the coming decade to make progress toward an operational planetary defense capability
