As I’ve said before, NASA’s IRTF is the single biggest resource for asteroid follow-up characterization. The spectra/photometry taken by IRTF likely cover more asteroids than any other observatory. It is in everyone’s interest (well, except for other observatories) that we keep it up. Let the proposals roll!
