To quote:
Now, Didier Massonnet and Benoît Meyssignac of France's National Centre for
Space Studies have come up with a new projectile to fire at the asteroid in
such a "kill". They advocate capturing a small, 40 meter asteroid and
"parking" it a stable Lagrange point 1.5 million kilometres from Earth,
where the gravity of the Earth and the Sun balance.
