The position of the Japanese Spaceguard Association with regard to NEO problems

The Japanese Spaceguard Association, set up in October 1996, has been proposing a scenario to solve NEO problems. In addition to activities such as public lectures and publication of a newsletter, we are trying to get support from the government and private organizations to build ground-based, space-based and lunar-based telescopes. The construction of two ground-based telescopes began in January 1999, and will be operational in 2000. als for lunar-based and space-based NEO missions are under discussion within NASDA, Japan. In this paper, we show the basis for the ideas at each stage although there is still continuing discussion within the JSGA.
