Scientific paper

We review the results of this dual-hemisphere NEO survey which has been responsible for the majority of new NEO discoveries since 2005. We will discuss the distribution of discovery circumstances, coverage limitations, discovery efficiency, contribution to the spaceguard goal, and ongoing experiments to improve the discovery rate. We find that the ability to make same-night follow up of suspected NEOs aids significantly towards identifying and not losing NEOs.
This work is supported by the NASA NEOO Program.
