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.
The following is a partial list of minor planets, running from minor-planet number 757001 through 758000, inclusive.The primary data for this and other partial lists is based on JPL's "Small-Body Orbital Elements" [1] and data available from the Minor Planet Center.
This is a list of observatory codes (IAU codes or MPC codes) published by the Minor Planet Center. [1] For a detailed description, see observations of small Solar System bodies . List

The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS1; obs. code: F51 and Pan-STARRS2 obs. code: F52) located at Haleakala Observatory, Hawaii, US, consists of astronomical cameras, telescopes and a computing facility that is surveying the sky for moving or variable objects on a continual basis, and also producing accurate astrometry and photometry of already-detected objects.
Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) was a program run by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, surveying the sky for near-Earth objects.NEAT was conducted from December 1995 until April 2007, at GEODSS on Hawaii (Haleakala-NEAT; 566), as well as at Palomar Observatory in California (Palomar-NEAT; 644).
Optical and radar observations indicate that it is a water-rich object. [ 10 ] From light curve photometry in 1998, the object is measured to have a rotation period of only 10.7 minutes, which was considered to be one of the shortest sidereal days of any known Solar System object at the time; most asteroids with established rotational rates ...
