2 ESTABLISHMENT OF NASA’s NEO OBSERVATIONS PROGRAM. At the request of the U.S. Congress in the early 1990s, NASA conducted a preliminary study to define a program in order to dramatically increase the detection rate of NEOs.
The Near-Earth Object (NEO) Observations Program is a key element of NASA’s Planetary Defense Program, funding efforts to search for undiscovered NEOs using observatories around the world, calculate and refine NEO orbits, determine NEO physical properties and composition, and study NEO deflection and mitigation technologies.

28 maj 2024 · Under the leadership of a cross-agency advisory board, NASA has committed to develop an integrated agencywide strategy to measure and assess space sustainability for Earth, Earth orbit, the cislunar space, and deep space.
In 2016, NASA established the Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) to manage the agency's ongoing mission of finding, tracking, and better understanding asteroids and comets that could pose an impact hazard to Earth. Here you can stay informed about the PDCO, NASA's Near-Earth Object (NEO) Observations Program, and upcoming planetary ...
