Description
The spacecraft Deep Space 1 was launched October 24, 1998 on top of a Delta II rocket. As part of NASA's New Millennium program, the primary goal was the testing of technologies to lower the cost and risk of future missions.
Among the technologies tested were: * an ion thruster, specifically the NSTAR electrostatic ion thruster * 'Autonav,' an autonomous navigation system (which can also find imaging targets) which reduces ground intervention * 'Remote Agent' (remote intelligent self-repair software) * SDST (Small, Deep-Space Transponder), a miniaturized radio system * MICAS (Miniature Integrated Camera And Spectrometer), a smaller, lighter combination of prior instruments * PEPE (Plasma Experiment for Planetary Exploration), again a combination of what would have been larger instruments * SCARLET (Solar Concentrator Array of Refractive Linear Element Technologies), a lighter source with high power * The Beacon Monitor experiment, where the spacecraft sends only a status signal during cruise, reducing cost Sharing WidgetTrailer |
