No correction for atmospheric dispersion or ADC has been incorporated. The extremely fast focal ratio and the expected rapid pointing changes during the course of observations preclude any compensation technique. Reduced image quality will have to be accepted at the lower wavelength bands at angles away from the zenith.
The NASA Authorization Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-155), directed that NASA detect 90 percent of near-Earth objects 140 meters in diameter or greater by 2020.
