An Asteroid search campaign was organized by the NGO Science Popularization Association of Communicators and Educators (SPACE) and International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC).

Ten Indian students had participated in this campaign. Two class 12 students, Vaibhav Sapra and Sharanjeet Singh from Bal Bharti Public School Pitampura, discovered a main belt asteroid (2011 QM14) in August and will get an opportunity to name it. A rare Trojan Asteroid was also discovered by two girls, Pragya Chawla and Aparajita Aggarwal, from Bal Bharti Public School, Rajinder Nagar.

SPACE provides hands-on training for the students participating in the campaign to analyze images they receive by email, taken with the 24″ and 32″ telescopes at the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI) Observatory located at Charleston, USA
