The Killer Asteroid Project (KAP) is a real hands-on research program designed for high school and college students nationwide.  The KAP will use actual star images acquired through the parent NASA proposal to measure the position and speed of Near Earth Objects (NEOs) using computer technology.  Furthermore, student confirmation observations of near earth asteroids and comets will be published in the Minor Planet Electronic Circulars at the Minor Planet Center.  Our aim is to motivate teachers and students with the thrill of achievement that research brings when they make real NEO and asteroid discoveries.  The Killer Asteroid Project will culminate as a nationwide network of high school and college students who learn to conduct scientific investigations of NEOs in their own classrooms.
