Spacewatch was founded in 1980 by Tom Gehrels and Robert S. McMillan, and is currently led by astronomer Melissa Brucker at the University of Arizona. Spacewatch uses several telescopes on Kitt Peak for follow-up observations of near-Earth objects. [3] The Spacewatch Project uses three telescopes of apertures 0.9-m, 1.8-m, and 2.3-m.
