The PHASTT Network
Searching for Potentially Hazardous Asteroids
Innovative Projects
PHASTT is an innovative project to fund two potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) observatories on opposite sides of the planet. In addition to finding, tracking and characterizing PHAs, PHASTT-1 and PHASTTER will also do important research on exo-planets and other transient objects!
Powered by the 'Crowd'
An exciting aspect of these projects is that they're being crowdfunded! As far as we know, this is a first for observatories like this. This means that we'll be able to bring the telescopes online quickly, efficiently, and relatively cheaply. And you can help make it happen!
Science With an Impact!
The PHASTT instruments are being designed to detect, track, and characterize small objects in near-Earth space. As small as 10's of meters, if we're 'lucky.' Not only will this help us prepare for possible impacts, but it will also help us plan future rendezvous missions. Exciting research that you can be a part of!
PHASTT Keeps Giving
The PHASTT network will collect a lot of data on minor planets, stars, and exo-planets. We think that it would be a shame to keep all of this locked up in a dusty, old cupboard somewhere, so, we'll be making all of the images that we gather available to you through an online virtual observatory.
