Description
NEOROCKS (Near-Earth Object Rapid Observation, Characterization and Key Simulations) is a European project funded by the UE Horizon 2020 programme whose aim is to increase our knowledge of the NEO physical characterization through observations and data dissemination. The organization of a “Rapid Response Experiment” relying on existing European assets is one of the project key activities and it was successfully carried out in April 2022. Lessons learned from trying to minimize human intervention for optimizing the process in view of the expected near future sharp increase of NEO discoveries are discussed.
NEOROCKS is an international consortium involving Italy, France, UK, Czech Republic, Spain, Romania and Poland, coordinated by INAF and with the participation of: S. Anghel, M. Banaszkiewicz, S.
