Abstract
The Near-Earth Object Mission in the Infra-Red (NEOMIR) is the first ESA’s space-based mission fully dedicated to discovering near-Earth objects (NEOs), with a focus to detect and raise early warning for the smaller objects that are coming from the Sun direction, thus nearly impossible to be detected by ground-based optical survey. NEOMIR is currently in the early phases of mission study (phase A), with a potential launch date in the early 2030s.
