The project focuses on celestial mechanics, with applications to the dynamics of asteroids. Our first scientific application, SurveySimulator, is designed to accurately simulate the performance of astronomical surveys searching for Near Earth Objects (NEOs), asteroids and comets orbiting close to the Earth. By joining orbit@home, you help us understand and optimize the search patterns followed by the surveys, thus improving their performance and enabling higher NEOs discovery rates.
We are pleased to announce that orbit@home is now in production mode. WUs are generated now at a rate of about 300,000 every week, each one requiring about one hour to complete on average personal computers. We plan to maintain this production rate for at least one month, and then reassess how to continue the research.
