Abstract

This article is a well organized set of technical tracking systems which are programmed such that it is capable of detecting, recognizing, and measuring the relative speed of the NEO, and predicting the orbital orientation and its orbital velocity including the period. The system works with a fleet which analyzes particular field at a time and detects the NEO using radar and scattering techniques with the use of multiple wavelengths. The tracking system is a combination of existing earth based and multiple systems in space orbiting various inner planets and moon in precise orbits in order to alert weeks before possible impact, discussing the possible instruments for economic and feasible detection systems.
