文摘

ESA's 1-m telescope on Tenerife, the Optical Ground Station (OGS), has been used for observing NEOs since 2009. Part of the observational activity is the demonstration and test of survey observation strategies. During the observations, a total of 11 near-Earth objects have been discovered in about 360 h of observing time from 2009 to 2014. The survey observations are performed by imaging the same area in the sky 3 or 4 times within a 15–20 min time interval. A software robot analyses the images, searching for moving objects. The survey strategies and related data processing algorithms are described in this paper.
