Scientific paper

We have used the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) to perform as trometric observations of Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) having remote collision possibilities with the Earth. The observations were made for those objects which became too faint to be observed elsewhere. Using the 4 hours allocated in the semester April September 2003, 5 faint NEAs were observed. As a result, no NEA that could impact the Earth was lost.
