basic method for estimating such parameters should therefore be useful for asteroid and related investigations. A new method for estimating asteroid collision probabilities and impact velocities (Vedder 1996, Icarus, 123, 436-449) is extended from single to multiple targets. It is then applied to I

The probability distribution for impact velocities between two given asteroids is wide, non-Gaussian, and often contains spikes according to our new method of analysis in which each possible orbital geometry for collision is weighted according to its probability. An average value would give a good r
The Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) program has applied electro-optical technology developed for Air Force Space Surveillance applications to the problem of discovering near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) and comets. This application is natural due to the commonality between the surveillance o
