Abstract The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) scanned the celestial sphere during 1983 through bandpasses centered at wavelengths of 12, 25, 60 and 100 microns. In addition to sources fixed on the sky, many moving objects, were also observed. This data set is the largest and least biased survey of asteroids and comets ever conducted. Included are main belt asteroids, Mars crossers, Earth approachers and Trojans. Measurements for the known asteroids have been reduced and organized into a number of data products which are available to researchers. The data for “new” asteroids are being processed. Output data products were specified at a series of IRAS Asteroid Workshops held in Pasadena over the past several years. In this paper we report on the current status of all of these data.
