Technical paper for NEO Risk Exploration and Visualization System using NASA NeoWs Data

  • Unique Paper ID: 184226
  • PageNo: 648-661
  • Abstract:
  • This technical paper presents the design and implementation of an end-to-end system for collecting, processing, and interactively visualizing Near-Earth Object (NEO) data to support planetary defense awareness and education. NEO records were extracted from NASA’s Near-Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs) for the years 2020–2025, cleaned, and engineered into operationally useful features (risk, size, and velocity categories). A Random Forest model was trained, and stored as an optional component for risk scoring, complementing the system’s rule-based logic. Three Streamlit-based graphical user interfaces (GUIs) were developed: (i) a 3D Earth–asteroid visualizer with deterministic radial placement by miss distance, (ii) a planning dashboard that highlights the next 90 days of close approaches with month-wise filtering and an action-recommendation center, and (iii) a launch safety advisor that estimates the proximity of potential impact corridors to major launch sites using a 3D globe.
