Abstract

NEO Surveyor is a NASA Planetary Defense Coordination Office mission designed to detect and track >2/3 of potentially hazardous asteroids >140 m in diameter during its 5-year prime mission. NEO Surveyor entered Phase B in June 2021 and is scheduled to launch in 2026 to survey the sky in two infrared bands. The infrared detectors are a key technology for the mission and have been the subject of focused development for more than a decade. In this paper, we report test results for recently produced detectors and describe design elements of the focal plane module relevant to operations for NEO Surveyor.
