Accurate Ground-based Near-Earth-Asteroid Astrometry using Synthetic Tracking
Chengxing Zhai, Michael Shao, Navtej S. Saini +13
Accurate astrometry is crucial for determining orbits of near-Earth-asteroids (NEAs) and therefore better tracking them. This paper reports on a demonstration of 10 milliarcsecond-…

A constellation of CubeSats with synthetic tracking cameras to search for 90% of potentially hazardous near-Earth objects
Michael Shao, Slava G. Turyshev, Sara Spangelo +2
We present a new space mission concept that is capable of finding, detecting, and tracking 90% of near-Earth objects (NEO) with H magnitude of (i.e., 140 m in s…

Detection of a faint fast-moving near-Earth asteroid using synthetic tracking technique
Chengxing Zhai, Michael Shao, Bijan Nemati +6
We report a detection of a faint near-Earth asteroid (NEA), which was done using our synthetic tracking technique and the CHIMERA instrument on the Palomar 200-inch telescope. This…
