The Earth attack from space - the chronicle of centure

Abstract

Relevance of the problem of asteroid and comet impact hazard is considered. The short list of falling of space bodies to the Earth and their flights about it on distances, smaller distances to the Moon, for the last 100 years is carried out. The question about development of the federal research program on space protection of our planet and its integration into the international program is raised.
