Despite its low cost, NEAR is bristling with sensors. It carries not only a camera but also a laser-based radar system to map Eros' surface in detail, three different spectrometers to analyze the asteroid's chemical composition, and a magnetometer to gauge its magnetic field. The ship itself is...
No one is sure which category Eros belongs to, but NEAR should be able to solve that mystery. Says M.I.T. planetary scientist Maria Zuber, who is working on the laser-mapping experiment: "The topography of Eros reflects the object's whole history--it will tell us a lot about how...
Ideally, scientists would love to get closer than 20 miles away from an exotic object like Eros. And by the time the mission is over, they may get their chance. If there's enough propellant left in NEAR's tanks at the end of the year, ground controllers will have...
By that time NASA will have plenty of other missions to manage. The next project in the Discovery series is the Mars Pathfinder, scheduled for launch next December, which will land on the Red Planet and send a robot rover off to explore. Then comes Lunar Prospector in 1997, designed...
