(survey tracking near-Earth objects)

NEAT (for Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking) was a NASA survey to discover and track near-Earth objects, a successor to the Planet Crossing Asteroid Survey (PCAS). It was carried out from 1995 until 2007 when more ambitious such projects were underway. Over its life, it utilized three meter-class telescopes in Hawaii and California, discovering more than 40,000 minor planets.
