... 2015 . ... Observations using the Arecibo S-band (2380 MHz, 12.6 cm) planetary radar system started in 1976 and its power and sensitivity were greatly improved with the telescope upgrade and Gregorian-dome installation in the mid-1990s. Below, we show the number of near-Earth asteroids attempted and detected since the radar program resumed in 1998. ... The number of NHATS objects detected with Arecibo similarly jumped in 2012, and 2015 was again a record year, where we detected 23 of these objects. ...
