Scientific paper

The International Asteroid Search Campaign (IASC) is a program for high school and college students who search just hours-old astronomical images for original discoveries. These discoveries include Main Belt asteroids and near-Earth objects (NEOs). Students download the images on a daily basis, perform the analysis with provided software tool (Astrometrica), and report their discoveries, which ultimately are recognized by the Minor Planet Center (MPC) and the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Beijing high school students took part in this campaign. Results from spring 2008 included: the discovery of one Main Belt Asteroid; an observation of a Virtual Impactor; and four NEO confirmations.
