About NASA NEO Surveyor Launch
NEO Surveyor is a NASA infrared space telescope built to find and track near-Earth asteroids and comets that could pose a hazard to Earth. It is part of NASA's planetary defence work.
NASA has planned a September 2027 launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Florida. The telescope will operate near the Sun-Earth L1 point.
NASA has not announced an exact launch day, and this plan was last restated in 2025. This countdown uses September 1, 2027, as a placeholder.
