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 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.
