Systematic Radar Observations of Small Near-Earth Asteroids

We propose a systematic radar survey of all available NEAs in an 8-hour observing run one night each month. Ob jects are available at any given time, but newly discovered ob jects will be more plentiful near the time of first quarter. We expect to observe about 8-10 ob jects each month to measure orbit distance and velocity, ob ject size, spin rate, polarization ratio and radar reflectance properties. These characteristics will give new insights about smaller NEAs than previously sampled.
