The eccentricity distribution of the objects cataloged by KOM up until the end of 2022 (red histogram), NEOS 5 yr nominal mission (blue histogram), and the two combined (black solid histogram). The distribution of objects identified as cataloged by KOM that are not observed by NEOS are shown as a yellow histogram. As expected, NEOS is very efficient at detecting and tracking low-eccentricity objects, similar to the current surveys.
