The Asiago-DLR Asteroid Survey (ADAS) is an astronomical survey to search for comets and asteroids, with special emphasis on near-Earth objects. The Minor Planet Center directly credits ADAS with the discovery of more than 200 minor planets since 2001.
It is a joint venture between the Department of Astronomy of the University of Padua (using the Schmidt telescope at Asiago-CimaEkar) and the German Aerospace Center's Institute of Space Sensor Technology and Planetary Exploration at Berlin-Adlershof, Germany. ADAS has IAU code 209. It is co-located with the Asiago Astrophysical Observatory. Principal investigators are Cesare Barbieri (at Padua/Asiago) and Gerhard Hahn (at DLR Berlin-Adlershof). The project works in collaboration with the Uppsala-DLR Asteroid Survey (UDAS).
