Asteroids Near Earth Index Overview Asteroids Locations Geologies Meteorites Origins Compositions ... To Do List There are four classes of asteroids discussed in this book, based on their location: Main Belt asteroids a band of asteroids located in the "missing planet" gap between Mars and Jupiter. None of these are economically attractive in a near term program because they are too far from Earth. Amor asteroids asteroids whose orbits approach but do not cross Earth orbit, and whose orbits are further from the Sun than Earth's orbit (i.e., "outside-t" Earth orbit). Many have orbits which reside entirely between Earth and Mars. Some of these are economically attractive in the near term. Apollo asteroids asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Apollo asteroids spend most of their time outside Earth orbit. Many of these are economically attractive in the near term. Aten asteroids asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Unlike Apollos, Atens spend most of their time inside Earth orbit. A large percentage of known Atens are economically attractive in the near term. This figure shows an example of an Amor, an Apollo and an Aten orbit.

12. USGS Astrogeology: Clementine Mission Several Clementine Mission images from the United States Geological Survey. http://astrogeology.usgs.gov/Projects/Clementine/index.html

CLEMENTINE - USGS IMAGES A RETURN TO THE MOON The Clementine spacecraft successfully mapped the Moon with 4 cameras (UVVIS 415-1000nm; NIR 1100-2789 nm; HI-RES 415-750 nm; LWIR 9 microns) over the period February through May 1994. Using the UVVIS and NIR cameras the entire Moon was mapped at a resolution of 125-250 m/pixels. From these new data it will be possible to map the mineralogy (rock types) of the entire Moon, a truly unprecedented feat in the history of planetary exploration. In addition to the multispectral mapping cameras the Clementine spacecraft also carried a laser altimeter. The laser altimetry data will make possible the first ever uniform global lunar topographic map. The DoD/ BMDO Clementine spacecraft was built and operated by the Naval Research Laboratory , with remote-sensing instruments from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Larger, higher resolution versions of all images may be downloaded by selecting the small image. Last updated: April 30, 1998 Tycho Crater (346 kb jpeg image) This mosaic of Clementine UVVIS images covers the center of the impact crater Tycho. It was formed when a large meteorite (or comet) slammed into the Moon. The version on the right is a 3 color composite (415 nm, 750 nm, 1000 nm); the version in the center is a color composite of wavelength ratios which show different rock and soil types. Note the distinct color difference of the central peak due to excavation of deep material during the impact that formed the crater. The ratio image on the left enhances an unusual polygonal pattern in the floor of the crater. The origin of this feature is not clear, however future work using all 11 wavelengths collected by the UVVIS and NIR cameras will most likely reveal the origin of these enigmatic "cracks".

USGS Participation in the Mars Pathfinder Mission The USGS is participating in the Mars Pathfinder Mission through Dr. Laurence Soderblom, who is a Co-Investigator on the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) camera carried by the spacecraft. In addition to Soderblom, four other Astrogeology scientists will be at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory during the prime mission (July 1997) to provide intensive support: Dr. A. Wesley Ward, Jr. (Astrogeology Team Chief Scientist), Dr. Randolph L. Kirk, Elpitha Howington-Kraus, and Dr. Jeffrey Johnson (Eugene M. Shoemaker Fellow in Astrogeology). Cartographic and image-processing support is also being provided by a large number of USGS staff members working in Flagstaff, Arizona. The USGS is involved in most aspects of the mission: pre-mission mapping of the landing site using Viking Orbiter images; detailed site mapping with images from the IMP camera; scientific analysis of the IMP data; and design of special image sequences to elucidate particular aspects of the landing site geology. The scientific objective and approach of the USGS investigation are described in more detail here Jeff, Wes and Larry at JPL.
