MPC Activities in the Next Generation of Search

The Minor Planet Center's (MPC) role of collecting, verifying, and distributing observations has remained constant throughout the NEO survey era. Given the dramatic increase in data collection rate of modern-day surveys, the MPC has had to change operations and to increase efficiency in an ever-changing landscape of surveys. This is likely to continue as more powerful and efficient surveys come online in the next few years. This talk will discuss some of the advances and improvements made recently at the MPC that have allowed continued rapid distribution of data and data products, both in the current era, and also in the face of an expected increase in data flow by a factor of ten.
