The Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIS) instrument on the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft performed a comprehensive series of in-flight tests to validate its preflight radiometric characteristics and to characterize instrument stability, pointing, and co-alignment with other instrument
A simple probabilistic model for estimating the population of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) by comparing the rate of redetections of previously known asteroids of a given size with new detections during a test interval of time is described. We apply this method to the whole sample of NEA observations
