The project SODA (System of Observation of Day-time Asteroids) designed for exhaustive detection of decameter (>5-10m) meteoroids approaching the Earth from the day-time sky. The system consists of two Spacecraft (SC) placed into orbitsin the vicinity of the Lagrange point L1 of the Sun-Earth system. Each SC is equipped with one to three small aperture(25-30 cm) telescopes that are to observe near space in a conical region around the Earth. For objects on collisional orbitsthe SODA ensures a warning time of 10-20 hours and the coordinates of the atmospheric entry point with up to 10×100km accuracy.
