The Near-Earth Objects Coordination Centre (NEOCC), part of the ESA’s Planetary Defence Office, is dedicated to monitoring, tracking and assessing the risks associated with near-Earth objects (NEO).

The NEOCC offers a variety of services and tools, including public access to data through its portal and related APIs. The NEOCC Python Interface is a powerful tool designed to streamline access to critical data from the NEOCC API. The demonstration will highlight how this Python library simplifies the retrieval and analysis of near-Earth object data like orbital data and physical properties data, and how to efficiently integrate NEOCC data into third-party libraries like ESA’s flight dynamics software GODOT. Furthermore, it will be demonstrated how to use it for retrieval and analysis of advanced information about asteroids, ephemeris and other ancillary data such as the risk list and the close approach list. Finally, a simulation of an Apophis 2029 intercept mission will be showcased.
