About The Asteroid Institute

As with many frontiers that have come before, the opening of the space frontier will be enabled by mapping. A comprehensive map of the solar system enables scientific exploration, economic development, and the protection of the Earth from asteroid impacts. To help support this goal, we are building ADAM, the Asteroid Discovery Analysis and Mapping computational platform.
