orbit@home

<p>orbit@home was a <a href="/facts/Berkeley_Open_Infrastructure_for_Network_Computing/RPaqqojG">BOINC</a>-based <a href="/facts/Volunteer_computing/YkXGa3N8">volunteer computing</a> project of the <a href="/facts/Planetary_Science_Institute/8nxQD2yM">Planetary Science Institute</a>.  It uses the "<a href="/facts/Orbit_(astronomy_and_physics)/nD2TPySG">Orbit</a> Reconstruction, <a href="/facts/Simulation/Q4QJV1oI">Simulation</a> and Analysis" framework to optimize the search strategies that are used to find <a href="/facts/Near-Earth_object/UwnPRnSN">near-Earth objects</a>.
</p><p>On March 4, 2008, orbit@home completed the installation of its new <a href="/facts/Server_(computing)/dEaYFD7r">server</a> and officially opened to new members. On April 11, orbit@home launched a <a href="/facts/Windows_(operating_system)/bwhAhuSL">Windows</a> version of their <a href="/facts/Client_(computing)/u0wlVsWI">client</a>. On February 16, 2013, the project was halted due to lack of <a href="/facts/Grant_(money)/hELaeSPU">grant funding</a>. However, on July 23, 2013, the Orbit@home project was selected for funding by <a href="/facts/NASA/TIMCV0yV">NASA</a>'s <a href="/facts/Near_Earth_Object/UwnPRnSN">Near Earth Object</a> Observation program.  It was announced that orbit@home is to resume operations sometime in 2014 or 2015. As of July 13, 2018, orbit@home is offline according to its website, and the upgrade announcement has been removed.
