About this work
The bus structure of the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor spacecraft underwent testing at BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems in Boulder, Colorado, in August 2025. NEO Surveyor’s bus houses the power, propulsion, avionics, and communication subsystems, which are isolated from the spacecraft’s telescope and sensitive detectors. When all components are assembled, a large sunshade will be attached to the side of the bus, blocking the Sun’s glare from entering the telescope.
