NEO Surveyor is the first purpose-built space telescope that will advance NASA's planetary defense efforts by finding and tracking hazardous near-Earth objects.
A space telescope designed to search for the hardest-to-find asteroids and comets that stray into Earth's orbital neighborhood, NASA's Near-Earth Object Surveyor ( NEO Surveyor ) recently passed a rigorous technical and programmatic review .
Research site will bounce radio signal off asteroid in NASA experiment
"What's new and what we are trying to do is probe asteroid interiors with long wavelength radars and radio telescopes from the ground," said Mark Haynes, lead investigator on the project and a radar systems engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.
Knowing more about an asteroid's interior, especially of an asteroid large enough to cause major damage on Earth, is important for determining how to defend against it.

The wild asteroid concept would see far-future humans gather up rock rubble in a massive bag made of nanofiber mesh, allowing future astronauts to build a habitat inside the loose asteroid bits as the rocks spin in space.
"This project started as just a way for physicists and engineers to blow off steam, set aside worldly stresses for a while, and imagine something crazy," Ph.D.
Newly Discovered Asteroid Seen Flying Closer to Us Than Telecom Satellites - CNET
An asteroid the size of a car was discovered the same day it made a close approach to Earth, coming closer to the surface than the ring of large telecommunications satellites in geosynchronous orbit (22,236 miles, or 35,786, kilometers above us).
The Arizona-based Catalina Sky Survey first spotted the space rock on Saturday, just as it was coming within about 13,000 miles (21,000 kilometers) of our planet.

This year, scientists used lasers to harness solar power. NASA released stunning images from the James Webb Telescope and moved an asteroid off its course.
9 Kathua students get first-hand experience of NASA global asteroid search campaign – The ...
JAMMU: In the first, nine students of a private school in Kathua district participated in a global asteroid search campaign as part of NASA’s citizen science project.
The campaign was organised by Delhi-based Homi Lab in association with the International Astronomical search collaboration (IASC) from October 21 to November 15, Homi Lab said in a press release here.
When a gigantic 6.4-km asteroid broke and pieces crashed on Earth | Tech News
Just a few days ago, the Earth witnessed the Geminids meteor shower where the Earth annually passes by the debris left behind by the asteroid 3200 Phaethon.
The study theorizes that it belongs to the asteroid belt present between Mars and Jupiter. The region is filled with asteroids that revolve around the Sun in their independent orbits.
