The Reiner Gamma lunar swirls at 750 nm, as recorded by the Clementine mission. The Ultraviolet/Visible camera (UV/Vis) was designed to study the surfaces of the Moon and the asteroid Geographos at five different wavelengths in the ultraviolet and visible spectrum. The Geographos rendezvous was canceled due to equipment malfunction.
The spacecraft will be propelled by four μ10 solar electric ion engines, [2] as used by Hayabusa and Hayabusa2, but while its predecessors operated only up to three engines simultaneously, DESTINY + will use all four simultaneously [7] for a total thrust of 40 mN (specific impulse: 3000 seconds; acceleration: 83 μm/s 2; power: 1670 watts.

Clementine 2 was a proposed asteroid-interception mission that was intended to fly by two near-Earth asteroids, 433 Eros and 4179 Toutatis planned by NASA. [2]The probe impact at Toutatis was needed to obtain the dynamic strength of surface material and data on the properties of the regolith and on stratification below the surface, and potentially allowed the measurement of thermal diffusivity ...
Pioneer program, 1958–1960 . Pioneer 1, television camera; Pioneer 2, television camera; Lunar Orbiter program, Lunar Orbiter 1–5, 1966–1967; The camera used two lenses to simultaneously expose a wide-angle and a high-resolution image on the same film.
The mission was managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the United States, where the orbiter was assembled. Huygens was developed by the European Space Research and Technology Centre. [70] After several mission extensions, Cassini was deliberately plunged into Saturn's atmosphere on September 15, 2017, to prevent contamination of ...
