The Stellar Death Clock: A Computational Application to Earth-Moon Migration using the Full Astroengineering Methodology

Mitigating solar luminosity inflation demands operational astroengineering frameworks capable of modulating the Earth-Moon orbit safely. This fifth installment of The Stellar Death Clock series presents the first full numerical execution of the calibrated methodology from Paper IV. Balancing the non-gravitational parameters bias-variance tradeoff via a 5-year calibration window, we determine the velocity correction required for a controlled encounter between the asteroid 137 Meliboea and the Earth-Moon system through a two-phase process: a closed-form analytical estimate (Paper VI), refined by iterative REBOUND/IAS15 integration to satisfy the long-term Jovian corridor capture condition not captured by the analytical model alone. Initialized during an isolated window on 25 August 2027 — synchronized with the superior solar conjunction of Venus and Mars — the resulting trajectory respects a rigid non-demolition barrier, guiding the asset into a night-side corridor at a periapsis of . An 892-day propagation reveals a close-approach displacement of , translating into a secular heliocentric semi-major axis expansion of . Telemetry provides numerical evidence consistent with adiabatic co-migration of the Earth-Moon binary: the Moon co-migrates symmetrically () with a residual delta of ~0.41 metres. Finally, the 45,854-hour propagation demonstrates passage through a passive Jovian gravity-assist corridor connecting Jupiter and Earth; whether this corridor permits asynchronous reuse without active propulsion remains to be confirmed via a controlled on/off comparison. If verified, this could support this architecture as a candidate framework for long-term biospheric preservation.
