Abstract Velocities of potentially hazardous objects (asteroids and comets) approaching the Earth are studied. It is shown that for an overwhelming majority of objects the velocity of approach does not exceed 40 km/s. The acceptability of this estimate for design and manufacturing of instruments for detecting hazardous celestial bodies is discussed.
