Spaceflight 🚀<p>The first step in averting an <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/asteroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asteroid</span></a> ☄️ impact 💥 with Earth is just to know what near-Earth objects are out there 🔭. Plenty of city-killer asteroids remain lurking and undiscovered, potentially still posing a real risk to life on the planet.

Daniel Fischer<p>NASA officials have completed a rigorous technical and programmatic review, known as Key Decision Point C (KDP-C), and confirmed NASA’s Near-Earth Object Surveyor space telescope (<a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/NEOSurveyor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NEOSurveyor</span></a>) establishing NASA’s commitment to the mission’s technical, cost, and schedule baseline. The decision commits NASA to a development cost baseline of $1.2 billion and a commitment to be ready for a launch no later than June 2028: <a href="https://blogs.nasa.gov/neosurveyor/2022/12/06/nasas-neo-surveyor-successfully-passes-key-milestone/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blogs.nasa.gov/neosurveyor/202</span><span class="invisible">2/12/06/nasas-neo-surveyor-successfully-passes-key-milestone/</span></a></p>
