The ideal solution would be one that incorporates all recommended solutions, having the technical systems tested and operating, and within the given time frame. It is important to note that no alternative will have all the ideal best and worst values. The ranking process then proceeded by weighting the evaluation criteria and determining the distance that an alternative has from the perfect soluJANUARY 2018 tion. Outreach and education are essential to spreading awareness of the cosmic threats to our communities around the world. The lack of public interest and limited funding to develop mitigation techniques for such threats makes the implementation of successful outreach techniques and measures even more important. The Outreach and Education subteam proposed easily implementable methods that fell on the green areas of low impact and IEEE A&E SYSTEMS MAGAZINE 11
