May will likely be the last month before summer with an average rate of NEO discoveries. Starting in June, most surveys in the South-West of the United States will likely temporarily decrease their productivity due to the summer monsoon season.

The Fly-Eye Telescope is an innovative project of ESA‘s SSA-NEO Segment that will focus on survey and follow-up of NEOs. Another important milestone on the way to build the telescope was achieved: from 30 July to 1 August ESA attended the acceptance test of the equatorial mount at its production site in Verona, Italy.
