Once from the Space Shuttle Endeavour in April 1994 on and again in October 1994 on . The radar was run by NASA's Space Radar Laboratory. SIR utilizes 3 radar frequencies: L band (24 cm wavelength), C band (6 cm) and X band (3 cm), [1] allowing for study of geology, hydrology, ecology and oceanography. Comparing radar images to data collected ...
neat.jpl.nasa.gov Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking ( NEAT ) was a program run by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory , surveying the sky for near-Earth objects . NEAT was conducted from December 1995 until April 2007, at GEODSS on Hawaii (Haleakala-NEAT; 566 ), as well as at Palomar Observatory in California (Palomar-NEAT; 644 ).

The Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex (GDSCC), commonly called the Goldstone Observatory, is a satellite ground station located in Fort Irwin [1] in the U.S. state of California. Operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), its main purpose is to track and communicate with interplanetary space missions.
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) in La Cañada Flintridge, California, Crescenta Valley, United States. [1] Founded in 1936 by California Institute of Technology (Caltech) researchers, the laboratory is now owned and sponsored by NASA and administered and managed by Caltech. [2] [3]
Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE, observatory code C51, Explorer 92 and MIDEX-6) was a NASA infrared astronomy space telescope in the Explorers Program launched in December 2009. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] WISE discovered thousands of minor planets and numerous star clusters .
The DSN supports NASA's contribution to the scientific investigation of the Solar System: It provides a two-way communications link that guides and controls various NASA uncrewed interplanetary space probes, and brings back the images and new scientific information these probes collect.
