Description
In the past, observations from space assets successfully showed the potential of discovering and analysing NEOs and other small bodies in the solar system within the scope of its mission (e.g., Gaia, NEOWISE). More and more, we make use of more unconventional observations from spacecrafts that were not fully intended for such operations – 2024 YR4 observations by JWST turned out to be a valuable opportunity in constraining the orbit, now with the planned 3I/ATLAS observations from JUICE and potentially other, we reach a point in time, where observations from space are possibly the best or sometimes the only ones to obtain critical information. With increasingly rapid response times, this raises challenges in operations, but just as important opportunities. We will be able to have a look at recent and upcoming targets, share lessons-learned, and discuss systematic strategies reducing the efforts.
