Asking because I hope this project can continue even after we run out of new things to discover in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Is it possible to also use this project to observe our solar system's SECOND asteroid belt, the Kuiper Belt? Otherwise, I guess we can keep tracking the asteroids already discovered.

I think due to the amount of asteroids in space, I don't think we are reaching that point any time soon
