As of December, 2010, the Sentry collision monitoring system has about 322 objects in its asteroid catalog. They are not tracked continuously, as most of their orbits are well-understood. From time to time new objects are added as they are discovered and others are removed when observations indicate that they do not meet the criteria for potentially hazardous asteroids.

Why is it important to track NEO's?

Tracking Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) is important because they have the potential to impact Earth and cause significant damage. By monitoring NEOs, scientists can predict potential collisions and take measures to mitigate the impact, potentially saving lives and minimizing destruction. Tracking NEOs also provides valuable information about the composition and distribution of objects in our solar system.
