Can you help me find a list current/future of observatories/satellites that discover and track NEOs? I'm having a lot of trouble finding specifics..

So far I found these: WISE, NEOWISE, LINEAR NEAT Spacewatch LONEOS Catalina Pan-STARRS

Also, do you guys remember that (Reddit) post about the asteroid that crashed into the Moon in the year ~900 and was observed by ancient Chinese people? I can't find that either

Thanks

I found these 3 which don't appear to be on your list:

CINEOS(Campo Imperatore Near-Earth Object Survey)
Japan Spaceguard Association ???
ADAS (Asiago-DLR Asteroid Survey)
