Asteroid Mathilde Reveals Her Dark Past
Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory

A 25-minute flyby of the asteroid Mathilde by the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft took place June 27. This resulted in spectacular images of a dark, crater-battered little world assumed to date from the b eginning of the solar system.

MSX Observes Combined Experiments Program Flights
Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory

The Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) -- a Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) satellite launched last April to gather data for future space- and ground-based missile defense systems -- has tracked two medium-range missiles, known as Low Cost Launch Vehicles (LCLV). Part of the Combined Experiments Program, these LCLV flights were designed to demonstrate the ability of space-based optical sensors, on MSX, to perform key missile defense functions -- acquisition, tracking and discrimination in the mid-course phase of missile flight -- on realistic targets against realistic backgrounds.
