NEAT - Near Earth Asteroid Tracking

The Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) project comprises two autonomous observing systems at the Maui Space Surveillance Site, NEAT/MSSS, and at Palomar Observatory, NEAT/Palomar. At both sites the NEAT cameras use 1.2-m (48") telescopes to find Near-Earth objects (NEOs), both Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) and comets.
