NEO Surveys
These data sets contain Astronomical Survey observations. An astronomical survey is a generalized search over all (or most) of the sky and lacks a specific target. For SBN, its goal is to discover comets and asteroids and improve our knowledge of their orbits. Alternatively, an astronomical survey may comprise a set of many images or spectra of objects that share a common type or feature.

Earth Objects Survey (LONEOS) -
The LONEOS data have been recovered from disk storage and magnetic tape,
but not yet evaluated and documented for archiving. These data are not
archived in PDS and are available as-is. These data have been released to the
public domain as of September 15, 2020. See the readme.txt file for more
details.
Restoration and Archiving has been funded through a NASA YORPD 2021 grant.
