Abstract
NEO (Near Earth Object) are the celestial bodies which pass near the Earth. One NEO deflection method is spacecraft impact. In order to estimate its results, it is necessary to clarify mechanism of momentum change of NEO. Generally, β is used as an evaluation index in this field and affected by various factors, so this study focuses on spacecraft shape. Five types of projectile shape were tested and compared in term of two aspects. In addition, we made comparison by using scaling law in order to compare the shape effect in the speed region which is assumed to using actual NEO deflection.
