Greenstreet, S., Ngo, H., and Gladman, B., Icarus, 217, 355-366 (2012)
when using the Greenstreet et al. NEO orbital distribution model.
This data release provides tools which would allow the user to:
Obtain the steady-state orbital distribution of an NEO sample down to a specified H-magnitude limit.
Examine NEO orbital evolutions at 300-year resolution for time scales of 100-200 Myr (available upon request).
Estimate probabilities that a given real NEO comes from a particular NEO source region.
Determine the impact speed distribution for asteroids onto Earth, Venus, or Mercury.
The NEOSSat-1.0 NEO orbital distribution model consists of a set of test particle integrations originating in five NEO source regions:
-the nu6 secular resonance,
-the 3:1 mean-motion resonance,
-the Intermediate Mars Crosser (IMC) population,
-the Outer Main-Belt (OMB) population, and
-the Jupiter Family Comet (JFC) population.
and data extracted and synthesized from these integrations.

NOTE: The link below is to a tarball of the limited version of the Greenstreet et al. (2012) NEO Orbital Distribution Model which does NOT include the ~400 Gb integrations run for 100 Myr -200 Myr sampled at 300-year intervals. The integration output (384 Gbytes) is available upon request.
A README file at the top level of the tarball directory provides a full description of the NEO model release.

NEO Model Motivation Project:
Although nothing in this orbital model is tied to the spacecraft, it was constructed due to the need to have an accurate rendering of the a<1 AU NEO orbital distribution, which is the target region for the studies of the NEOSSat space telescope.
