 Unfortunately, a transcription error was made by Mr. Stamper, Carver's chief "engineer" when the satellite was initially launched. As a result, the satellite escaped Earth's gravity and is currently traveling in a straight line away from the Earth at a distance of 1.9 million kilometers. Its speed is nearly constant at  $340\,{\rm m/s}$ . The gyroscope system that keeps the orientation of the satellite constant is still working.  However, an asteroid ( $m_{\rm a}=9300\,{\rm kg}$ ) traveling at a speed of  $950\,{\rm m/s}$  is on a direct collision course (in line with the Earth and HAL) and the collision is imminent. The asteroid is presently 500 kilometers from the satellite.
-Your team can recapture the satellite if it can be returned to Earth. You should design a way to return the satellite to Earth. You will also need to ensure the asteroid will not collide with the satellite - damaging the probe is ok. Your team also needs to determine the minimum amount of time until the possible collision to determine if a communication from Earth can be completed in time. Your team must succeed in order to bring an end to your zombie/boar tiger/zombie boar tiger nightmare.
