Abstract
In this study, we developed a new version of the Investigating Dynamics of Asteroids (“IDA”) software for investigating the dynamics and probabilistic orbital evolution of asteroids. IDA allows the motions of asteroid to be predicted in order to determine close encounters, possible collisions, and orbital resonances with planets, as well as estimating the probability of impact, visualizing the motions of asteroid and planets on a computer screen, and solving some additional problems. The key features of the IDA software are its multifunctionality, high efficiency, and convenient interface. The motions of the asteroid 2012 MF7 were investigated to demonstrate use of the software, where the results showed that this object has a nonzero probability of colliding with the Earth in 2046.
