Preatmospheric Detection of a Meter-sized Earth Impactor
On 2020 September 18 U.S. Government (USG) sensors detected a bolide with peak bolometric magnitude of −19 over the Western Pacific. The impact was also detected by the Geostationary Lightning Mapper instrument on the GOES-17 satellite and infrasound ...

The analysis of structural fatigue under cyclic temperature loads [PDF]
A problem has been identified related to deformations of aircraft structures operating in the extreme north and orbital objects in near-earth orbits under conditions of cyclic alternating temperature loads.

FAST ROTATION OF A SUBKILOMETER-SIZED NEAR-EARTH OBJECT 2011 XA3 [PDF]
We present light curve observations and their multiband photometry for near-Earth object (NEO) 2011 XA3. The light curve has shown a periodicity of 0.0304 ± 0.0003 days (= 43.8 ± 0.4 minutes).

FEATURES OF KOTLIN ORBIT ESTIMATION LIBRARY
Since the launch of Sputnik 1, the number of objects in near-earth orbit has been constantly increasing. The growth of number of these objects increases the risk of their collisions with existing satellites and ones which will be launched, that can be ...

Nuclear and Orbital Characterization of the Transition Object (4015) 107P/Wilson–Harrington
Comet 107P/Wilson–Harrington, cross-listed as asteroid 4015, is one of the original transition objects whose properties do not neatly fit into a cometary or asteroidal origin.

Debiased albedo distribution for Near Earth Objects
We extend the most recent orbital and absolute magnitude Near Earth Object (NEO) model (Granvik et al., 2018) to provide a statistical description of NEO geometric albedos. Our model is calibrated on NEOWISE albedo data for the NEO population and reproduces these data very well once a simple model for the NEOWISE observational biases is applied.

New Tools for the Optimized Follow-Up of Imminent Impactors
The solar system is populated with, other than planets, a wide variety of minor bodies, the majority of which are represented by asteroids. Most of their orbits are comprised of those between Mars and Jupiter, thus forming a population named Main Belt ...

Adventures in Near-Earth Object Exploration [PDF]
Asteroids, because of the hazard they pose to Earth, are compelling targets for robotic and human space exploration. Yet because of their exotic low-gravity environment, simply landing on an asteroid appears to be much more challenging than we had appreciated 5 or 10 years ago.
