The Near-Earth Object Surveyor Mission
The Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor mission is a NASA observatory designed
to discover and characterize near-Earth asteroids and comets. The mission's
primary objective is to find the majority of objects large enough to cause
severe regional impact damage (140 m in effective spherical diameter) within
its five-year baseline survey. Operating at the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point,
the mission will survey to within 45 degrees of the Sun in an effort to find
the objects in the most Earth-like orbits. The survey cadence is optimized to
provide observational arcs long enough to reliably distinguish near-Earth
objects from more distant small bodies that cannot pose an impact hazard. Over
the course of its survey, NEO Surveyor will discover 200,000 - 300,000
new NEOs down to sizes as small as 10 m and thousands of comets,
significantly improving our understanding of the probability of an Earth impact
over the next century.Comment: accepted to PS
