Asteroid Institute | IAA Planetary Defense Conference 2023
April 3, 2023
The Asteroid Institute team presented a poster on our automated Precovery service at the 2023 IAA Planetary Defense Conference in Vienna. The poster shows the Asteroid Institute’s work creating a continuous pipeline to search for new observations of asteroids in old datasets. By using cloud-based tools and our fast ‘Precovery’ algorithm, we are able to do nightly searches across multiple datasets for missing observations of the ESA and JPL ‘risk lists’ (a list of asteroids with a chance of hitting the Earth).
