The Spaceguard Foundation, in collaboration with Osservatorio Astronomico di Torino (OATo), Alenia Spazio (ALS), and Officine Galileo, performed for ESOC a study devoted to the problem of detection and physical characterization of NEOs. The SISyPHOS (Spaceguard Integrated System for Potentially Hazardous Object Survey) study led to an F2/F3 proposal for ESA (Spaceguard-1 mission). The study includes the overall design of a mixed ground- and space-based observational system for detection, tracking and physical characterisation of NEOs. The space-based observatory with infrared capabilities is part of a wider system, including a ground network of telescopes, connecting centres for data acquisition, analysis and dissemination. An infrared observing facility from space can perform two tasks that are much less effectively done from the ground: size determination (radiometric technique), discovery and follow-up of Atens and IEOs. This paper focuses on the space-based IR observations for detection and physical characterization of NEOs, and a preliminary spacecraft project.
