Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: The Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project is a collaboration of the United States Air Force, NASA, and the MIT's Lincoln Laboratory for the systematic detection and tracking of near-Earth objects. LINEAR was responsible for the majority of asteroid discoveries from 1998 until it was overtaken by the Catalina Sky Survey in 2005. , LINEAR had detected 231,082 new small Solar System bodies, of which at least 2,423 were near-Earth asteroids and 279 were comets. The instruments used by the LINEAR program are located at Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site (ETS) on the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) near Socorro, New Mexico., Socorro is a city in Socorro County in the U.S. state of New Mexico. It is in the Rio Grande Valley at an elevation of . In 2012 the population was 8,906. It is the county seat of Socorro County.

It is owned and operated by the Comenius University in Bratislava. The scientific research at the observatory is led by the Department of Astronomy, Physics of the Earth and Meteorology, Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics., 17102 Begzhigitova ( 1999 JB41 ) is a main - belt asteroid discovered on May 10 , 1999 , by the Lincoln Near - Earth Asteroid Research team at Socorro , New Mexico . A rotation period of 5.341 hours was determined at Modra Observatory in 2008 however this is a very tentative result and longer rotation periods are not ruled out . The asteroid was named for Akmaral Begzhigitova who won fourth place in the 2003 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for her mathematics team project ., Subject: 17102 begzhigitova, Relation: site_of_astronomical_discovery, Options: (A) lincoln laboratory (B) modra observatory (C) socorro
