Neos module¶
NEO stans for near-Earth object. These bodies are generally asteroids or coments such that because of their orbits could be close into Earth’s surroundings. NEOs can be classified into:
- Meteroids: with a diameter lower than 50 meters
- Near Earth Comets (NEC): with orbital period lower than 200 years
- Near Earth Asteroid (NEA): most of NEO objects are in this category
