NEAR - Near-Earth
Asteroid Rendezvous
NEAR was launched in 1996 and in 2000 became the
first mission to orbit an asteroid, the large near-Earth
asteroid Eros. It remained in orbit for a year and
landed on Eros in 2001.
Most data sets from the NEAR mission are archived at
the
PDS Planetary
Plasma Interactions (PPI) Node and the
PDS
Small Bodies Node. The
NASA
Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF)
maintains the
NEAR SPICE archive. The Geosciences
Node has one NEAR data set:
NEAR Laser Rangefinder Data
