We obtain the size and orbital distributions of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) that are expected to be in the 1 : 1 mean motion resonance with the Earth in a steady state scenario. We predict that the number of such objects with absolute magnitudes H < 18 and H < 22 is 0.65 Β± 0.12 and 16.3 Β± 3.0, respe

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
The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) mission began a year-long rendezvous with 433 Eros on 14 February 2000. The NEAR Laser Rangefinder (NLR) will measure ranges from the spacecraft to the surface of Eros with a single shot accuracy of a few meters. The NLR topographic data, when combined with
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
