Observatory Links
Refreshed at 1432 UTC on 2 June 2013
This is a list of MPC- or DSN-coded observatories that have appeared in A/CC reporting since late 2004 and for which we have Web site addresses. This page is generated by script from the same database* used to produce A/CC's daily semi-automated Tracking News and other news pages. Let us know if you find mistakes or bad links, or if you know of new or better links.
Please note that, as compared with country listings, the alphabetical listings here include more details, such as program codes and alternate observatory names.
*Contains all observatories that have reported impact-risk-rated objects in MPECs since October 29th, 2004, when the first version of A/CC's Consolidated Risk Tables (CRT) page was inaugurated, all observatories that have appeared in any MPEC since May 14th, 2007, when A/CC's current daily news format began along with its "Observers" section, and all planetary radar sites with new or revised data that has been posted by NASA JPL since January 1st, 2008, when this info was added to our semi-automated news search.
