| 内容記述 | The Stardust-NExT (New Exploration of Tempel) mission, a follow-on to the Stardust prime mission, successfully completed a flyby of comet Tempel-1 on 2/14/11. However there were many challenges along the way in navigating this mission to its successful conclusion, most significantly low propellant margin and detection of the comet in imagery later than anticipated. These challenges and their ramifications forced the navigation team and the project to respond with flexibility and ingenuity. As a result, the resulting flyby at an altitude of 178 km was nearly flawless, accomplishing all its science objectives. |
