INTRODUCTION 

Near Earth Objects (NEOs)are comets and asteroids whose gravitational orbit's perihelion is less than 1.3 AU. If the NEO's orbit intersects with Earth's orbit and has a diameter of 140 meters, then this object is considered as a Potential Hazardess Object (PHOs) with most of the known PHOs being asteroids. This could be a potential problem for any collisions of Earth and these NEOs, leading into the possible extinction of humans similarly to the situation of the possible prediction of the extinction of dinosaurs.
According to NASA, there are an estimated 10,000 NEOs discovered that are 1 km or larger. It is suggested that about 10% of these NEOs have been discovered. Due to the hazardous nature in numbers and potential destructions NEOs carry, we have decided to look into them. The ability to understand the impact of these asteroids on Earth and the damage they can cause is important as well. One of our team's past projects was comparing crater size with meteors (INSERT PROJECT). The project on crater size goes into detail to describe the nature of NEOs and how to calculate their potential destruction, which is all the more reason to be concerned of them. The current paper details the different techniques and methods for stopping NEOs, as well as the different methods of calculating the logistics as well as the estimated cost corresponding to each of the methods, where the focus is bestowed upon a particular and unusual Near Earth Asteroid.
In this paper, background factual informations of 3200 Phaethon and it's related information in the Solar System is given in the Background section. Relevant data is highlighted in the Data reduction section. The information represented by the data is suggested in the Data Analysis section. A mitigation technique is suggested based on the data is given in the Results section. The feasibility of such a mitigation technique is discussed in the Discussion section along with comparison made with other possible mitigation techiniques. Conclusion section will suggest the logistics of such mitigation techinique including the approaching and returning of the spacecraft as well as the mitigation itself along with the potential aftermath of such action. 

BACKGROUND: 

3200 Phaethon is an asteroid located within the Solar System from the Apollo Asteroidal group (B- Type under C- Complex). Phaethon has an orbital period of 523 days, and rotates once every 3.6 hours. It appears to be an almost spherical shape with surfaces that appears to be wet. It is made up of mostly silicate materials, however does contain some amount of hydrated materials and solid ice which is the cause of Phaethon's comet-like trail. Because of the solid ice inside Phaethon, the potential mitigation technique will need to acknowledge the potential ethical concerns the technique might bring up. For instance, the ice in Phaethon can potentially bring life to another suitable planet raising ethical concerns when considering some mitigation strategies such has implementing kinetic impactors.
The spacecraft will be launched from Earth’s surface into Earth’s orbit around sun by following the path of a Hohmann transfer orbit. After the spacecraft reaches the Earth's orbit, then the spacecraft then follows another Hohmann transfer orbit that will take the spacecraft from Earth’s approximately circular orbit into 3200 Phaethon’s highly eccentric orbit. The calculations about the details of the necessary velocity changes during the transfer orbit are based upon several data information including the mass of the Sun, the orbital radius of the earth, the length of the aphelion of 3200 Phaeton’s orbit, the length of the perihelion of 3200 Phaeton’s orbit , gravitational constant, the radius of earth, and the mass of the earth . 
Some other data are also used to calculate the logistics of such launches such as the period of orbital rotation of the earth and 3200 Phaeton, as well as the length of the orbital radius of the earth and the length of the aphelion of Phaeton's orbit in the unit AU. This will be used to obtain logistical information including the approximated travel time as well as the optimal time to launch the spacecraft such that the spacecraft with intersect with 3200 Phaeton in the shortest amount of time. In this paper, a possible method of mitigation is suggested to combat the threat the 3200 Phaeton might cause.
