The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a NASA Explorer-class mission designed for finding exoplanets around nearby stars. TESS image data can also serve as a valuable resource for asteroid and comet detection, including near-Earth objects (NEOs). In order to exploit the TESS image data for moving object detection and potential object discovery, our team has developed an image processing pipeline as part of the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) program, sponsored by the NASA NEO Observations Program. The LINEAR-TESS pipeline is currently in operation and reporting asteroid observations to the Minor Planet Center. In this paper we discuss the algorithms and methodology utilized to push the limits of the astrometric accuracy and photometric sensitivity of the TESS instrument for asteroid detection without a priori information on the ephemerides of the objects, and report on observation statistics from the first two years of TESS mission data.

凌日系外行星调查卫星 (TESS) 是美国宇航局探索者级任务，旨在寻找附近恒星周围的系外行星。TESS 图像数据还可以作为小行星和彗星探测的宝贵资源，包括近地天体 (NEO)。为了利用 TESS 图像数据进行运动物体检测和潜在物体发现，我们的团队开发了一个图像处理管道，作为林肯近地小行星研究 (LINEAR) 计划的一部分，该计划由 NASA NEO 观测计划赞助。LINEAR-TESS 管道目前正在运行并向小行星中心报告小行星观测结果。
