Sentry (monitoring system)

Sentry (monitoring system)

Sentry is a highly automated collision monitoring system that continually scans the most current asteroid catalog for possibilities of future impact with Earth over the next 100 years. Whenever a potential impact is detected it will be analyzed and the results immediately published on the Near Earth Object Program [http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/]
