For the past 6 years, the country has seen several amateur astronomers and students make discoveries facilitated by city-based organization SPACE under its educational outreach program, the All India Asteroid Search Campaign (AIASC).

SPACE (under its AIASC for 201), in collaboration with the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC), conducted by Patrick Miller from Hardin Simmons University in the US is offering Indian students a chance to add to NASA’s database of asteroids hurtling in space.
