Purple Mountain  Observatory, Chinese Academy of sciences (PMO, CAS) won the  second-class science and technology award of Jiangsu province for its  project “System Engineering of near Earth Object Survey Telescope” on Feb. 26, 2011.

The project  passed achievement appraisal in 2009 by expert group comprising 6 CAS  academicians who believe the telescope is currently the most efficient  and best-performed one in near earth object observation and optical  image survey.

Since its  operation in 2007, the telescope has brought about such discoveries as 4  near earth asteroids, 1 unusual asteroid, 1 short period comet and a  batch of other new asteroids. It has obtained data for around 400,000  near earth objects and small planets, becoming one of the backbones  for near earth object observation in international world, which may  rival Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the best observation instrument of the  world.

In addition,  the telescope has taken images for over 2600 HEO space debris within one  week during the international joint observation of two comets, which  are targets of space exploration.
