Chapter 1:
History's first attempt to land a spacecraft on an asteroied took place successfully at 19.01 (GMT) on 12 February, when NASA's mission controllers dropped the NEAR Shoemaker probe to a soft landing on the astroid Eros. The 495-Kilogram probe descended from its orbit around the asteroid and slide gently onto the rocky suface. Since its launch in 1996, NEAR Shoemaker has produced a wealth of scientific data on asteroieds. This chapter of the Video File features 3-D graphics of NEAR Shoemaker and of the asteroid EROS and soundbites by NEAR project manager and project scientist.
