NASA's Asteroid Detection Programs Not Yet Meeting U.S. Goals (Forwarded)
Office of News and Public Information
National Academies Washington, D.C. August 12, 2009 NASA's Asteroid Detection Programs Not Yet Meeting U.S. Goals According to a new interim report from the National Research Council, NASA's current near-Earth object surveys will not meet the congressionally mandated goal of discovering 90 percent of all objects over 140 meters in diameter by 2020. Funding for near-Earth object activities at NASA has been constrained, with most costs being met by funds from other programs. A final report will include findings and recommendations on detecting, characterizing, and mitigating the hazard of near-Earth objects.
