Orbit@home |
Introduction
Orbit@home is researching solar system dynamics (how objects move through the space near Earth). Their first area of study is looking at Near Earth Objects (NEA) search strategies and NEA impact hazard monitoring. Essencially they are trying to maximize the volume of space around Earth which is monitored at one time and see how well a distributed system works for detecting and tracking potential objects in space that may have a probability of colliding with Earth in the future.
- Sponsor: Major funding for orbit@home is provided by the NASA Applied Information Systems Research Program, grant NNX08AD18G.

Science
[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"
The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important.]
Results
[Where known, we should attempt to keep track of each project's publications. A good list to draw from is here. ]
Links of Interest
[Why recreate the wheel; there are lots of great sources out there.; a good list of sources can be really useful to the reader.]
Orbit@home In the Classroom
[For each project, please add a "[Projectname] in the Classroom" section-- with a link to Volunteer Computing In the Classroom and an article named "[Projectname] in the Classroom". (Then please add "[Projectname] in the Classroom" to the list on the main Education page.)]
