Introduction | Features | Applications | Frame Rates | Specifications | Ordering & Drawings Application Focus Solar System Objects Quantum Gases A Near-Earth Object (NEO) is any small Solar System body whose orbit brings it into proximity with Earth. Over 20,000 known Near Earth Asteroids have been discovered, of which almost 1000 are larger than 1 km. The inventory is much less complete for smaller objects, which still have potential for large scale damage. While asteroids are constantly being eliminated from our solar system, unfortunately new ones are pulled into orbit. Thus, NEO surveys are...
