NASA’s Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor spacecraft is taking shape, with its critical sunshade undergoing inspections at BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems in Boulder, Colorado, in July 2026. The sunshade stands 20 feet (6 meters) tall and measures 8 feet (2.4 meters) wide at its base, designed to shield the telescope’s infrared sensors from the Sun’s heat and light. This component is essential for the mission to detect and characterize potentially hazardous asteroids and comets that could pose a threat to Earth.
