Scientific paper

In the framework of the European Space Agency - Space Situational Awareness (ESA-SSA) program, we studied the performance of a possible network of telescopes for the SSA Near Earth Objects (NEO) segment capable of scanning all the visible sky from a station in one single night (Wide Survey). The purpose of the study was the determination of the efficiency of discovering NEOs in the size range of the Tunguskalike asteroids, from 160 m down to 10 m. We developed an end-to-end simulator capable to simulate, under some assumptions, the activities of such a network from detection, to preliminary orbit determination, orbit improvement and impact risk assessment. This work presents the results of our simulations.
