We sent a probe out to this asteroid belt, called NEAR, Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous.

While on its way to Jupiter, Galileo also examined another asteroid, Gaspra, which, like Ida, travels in the main asteroid belt orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter.

Comets are very much like asteroids.

And since this came in on a Friday, they were able to get this great footage of this thing breaking up as it came in over West Virgina, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey until it did that to a car in New York.

Don't mix up comets and asteroids.

Of more concern, I think, is the asteroids that exist between Mars and Jupiter.

Named after the asteroid Pallas

But you have it in planets and asteroids.

Some of them are smaller.

Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets in the Solar System.

The Subcommittee noted that near Earth objects were asteroids and comets with orbits that crossed the orbit of the planet Earth.

Dedicated communications teams manage large allocations of satellite bandwidth for effective communications between missions.

Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system.

The Subcommittee noted the following investigations by the United States the Mars Global Surveyor, for the global observation of Mars, and the Mars Pathfinder Mission the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) mission, for the study and observation of asteroids Cassini Huygens, for the investigation of Saturn and its moons and the Lunar Prospector, for lunar exploration.

You don't land on it, because these things are tumbling end over end.

Programmes are transmitted for four hours each week using a satellite system that provides for a one way broadband video system with an audio return path.

Missions involving small satellites can, however, be a complement to large satellite missions.

Now we are reviewing the spectra of about 300 stars with extrasolar planets.

MUSE C is a sample return mission of 4660 Nereus, a near earth asteroid which seems to be one of the most primitive bodies in our solar system.

If checked, asteroids will be drawn on the map

The Subcommittee noted missions planned for future launch, including Mars 96, Planet B, Mars Surveyor, Orbiter and Pathfinder, for investigation of Mars Lunar Prospector for lunar exploration Cassini Huygens, for investigation of Saturn and its moons and the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR), Stardust and Rosetta missions to asteroids and comets.

Up until recently, that was the Solar System four Earth like planets with small radius, smaller than about two times the size of the Earth and that was of course Mercury, Venus, Mars, and of course the Earth, and then the two big, giant planets.

It also noted missions planned for future launch, including the Stardust and Rosetta missions to asteroids and comets.

So I want to take you on a trip to an alien world.

Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) satellites may increase the availability of bandwidth and reduce its cost.

So now we have Pluto to join the numbers of small planets.

It has a fairly substantial number of asteroids between the orbit of the Earth out through to the orbit of Jupiter.

Small explosive charges (equivalent to a few 100 grams of TNT with a timed detonator), which would create the seismic signals used to determine the internal structure of the asteroid.
