 In the near future, a satellite with artificial intelligence called HAL has decided to return to Earth after been set adrift in the universe for a number of years. However, what seems to be following the satellite behind is a number of small asteroids. HAL has communicated with a member of the recovery team, David Lightman, to try and stop the asteroids from intercepting them. Lightman tells you that there is a defunct Earth defense floating space station that is very far from Earth which can be hacked into.  You have been tasked with operating this projectile defense system (PDS for short).  PDS has the ability to launch defense projectiles from the space station headquarters (positioned at the center of the space station) to divert incoming attack projectiles (asteroids heading for Earth).  **Before the first firing of a projectile from the defense system, your supervisor would like to see a simulation showing how the incoming attack projectile's motion can be changed by the defense projectile to be sure that you can be trusted with the PDS.** In the near future, a satellite with artificial intelligence called HAL has decided to return to Earth after been set adrift in the universe for a number of years.
