What Does PCAS Stand For?
PCAS stands for Planet Crossing Asteroid Survey
The Planet Crossing Asteroid Survey (PCAS) is a scientific initiative focused on identifying and tracking asteroids that have the potential to cross Earth's orbit. By monitoring these near-Earth objects, PCAS aims to assess their size, trajectory, and potential risk of impact, thereby enhancing our understanding of the solar system and improving planetary defense strategies. The survey utilizes advanced observational technology and data analysis techniques to contribute to global efforts in asteroid research and hazard mitigation.
