Orbit@home is a BOINC-based distributed computing project of the Planetary Science Institute. It uses the Orbit Reconstruction, Simulation and Analysis[1] framework to optimize the search strategies that are used to find near-Earth objects.
On March 4, 2008, Orbit@home completed the installation of its new server and officially opened to new members.
On April 11, 2008, Orbit@home launched a Windows version of their client.
On February 16, 2013, the project was halted due to lack of grant funding.[2] However, on July 23, 2013, the orbit@home project was selected for funding by NASA's Near Earth Object Observation program and is to resume operations sometime in early 2014. [3]
