=== Cislunar Orbit Stability Analyzer (completed) ===
The '''Cislunar Orbit Stability Analyzer''' project studied the stability of orbits in the Earth/Moon system.<ref name=central-news/> The project was led by Lezhe Gao, an astrodynamics researcher at [[wikipedia:Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory|Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] specializing in cislunar mechanics. Like Boolean Chains, the project used the BUDA framework to run its computations across the BOINC Central volunteer network.<ref name=central-news/>
==== Results ====
The project has since been completed, and the research led to a scientific paper that was in peer review as of March 2026.<ref name=central-news/> The BOINC Central team noted that the project, like Boolean Chains, involved solving scaling challenges related to large job batches and multi-gigabyte output file downloads.<ref name=central-news/>
