Summary

The initiative started in 1992 by the Spaceguard Survey Report. This document was followed up by the Human Race to the Future: What Could Happen and What to Do by the Lifeboat Foundation. It was awarded the Peer Reviewed Approved for Science seal of approval by the Department of Defense and Space Agencies. These publications aim to identify orbital characteristics of 90 of the largest and most distant objects, ranging from 1 km to 10 km. The committee also directs NASA to collaborate with international space agencies. Over a ten-year period, these efforts will catalogue orbital data for asteroids and larger bodies that cross the Earth's orbit. The goal is to advance our understanding of cometary and asteroid characteristics.
