There are hundreds of thousands of known asteroids, yet only 14 have been visited
by spacecraft thus far, and 9 of those were targets of opportunity. The remaining five
asteroids (Braille, Eros, Itokawa, Vesta, and Ceres) were visited by four missions dedi-
cated to asteroid research (Deep Space 1, Near Earth Asteroid RendezvouseShoemaker
[NEAR-Shoemaker], Hayabusa, and Dawn, respectively). In fact, of these five asteroids,
Vesta and Ceres are perhaps better defined as protoplanets because of their sizes and
the emerging evidence for their physical and chemical evolution. Two more near-
Earth asteroids (NEAs) will be visited in 2018, followed by even more visits in 2023
and 2030. This asteroid mission chronology is listed in Table 1.1. This chapter will tell
the story of these asteroid missions and visit each of them in turn to briefly review
some of the exciting science results. The story begins with asteroid 951 Gaspra and con-
tinues down the list in Table 1.1, according to the target asteroid name presented in
chronological order.

The Galileo spacecraft was launched by NASA in 1989 on a trajectory to Jupiter and the Gali-
lean moons. The spacecraft was equipped with an orbiter and an entry probe to measure the
atmosphere of Jupiter. One part of the spacecraft was kept rotating at 3 revolutions per minute
for stability, and this part held six scientific instruments, including several for measuring
electromagnetic fields and particles. The spacecraft was powered by two radioisotope
thermoelectric generators (RTGs), harnessing the energy from the decay of plutonium-238 at
about 500 W. Learning about the RTGs on Galileo, the public grew very alarmed and consid-
ered them an unacceptable launch risk. Antinuclear groups sought a court injunction to pro-
hibit the launch, but this was not successful. The spacecraft was launched by the Space Shuttle
Atlantis, on the STS-34 mission from Kennedy Space Center, on October 18, 1989.
The spacecraft payload consisted of 10 science instruments, plus the atmospheric probe.
The instruments used for nonparticles and field measurements included a camera
system, a Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS), an ultraviolet spectrometer, and a
photopolarimeter-radiometer. The main science camera was a solid state imaging (SSI) cam-
era, making Galileo one of the first spacecraft missions to use a charge-coupled device (CCD)
1.1 GALILEO: 951 GASPRA 3
for imaging. The NIMS was sensitive from 0.7 to 5.2 microns. The mission was almost
crippled, however, when the high-gain antenna (HGA) on board failed to open up to its oper-
ational configuration, and the project was thereafter severely restricted in terms of the volume
of data that could be transmitted to Earth. This problem was largely overcome by careful use
of data compression, the low-gain antenna (LGA), data storage buffers, and frequent down-
link with the Deep Space Network, allowing Galileo to complete its main mission and achieve
most of its science objectives. The spacecraft arrived at Jupiter, its main target, in December of
1995 and became the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter. In total, the mission operated for almost
14 years, sending unprecedented coverage of the Jupiter system back to Earth.
On its way to Jupiter, Galileo flew (at 8 km/s) to within 1600 km of main-belt asteroid 951
Gaspra on October 29, 1991, obtaining the first ever close-up images of an asteroid surface.
Because of the loss of the HGA, the data were downlinked slowly over a 13-month period.
The first images, obtained by the SSI camera, were relayed to Earth in early November
1991, and consisted of four images taken at wavelengths of 0.40, 0.56, 0.89, and 0.99 microns
from a range of 16,065 km at 164 m/pixel (Belton et al., 1992). Playback of all the imaging
data obtained during the flyby was completed in November of 1992, and in total, 951 Gaspra
appears in 57 images and in 7 color filters (Helfenstein et al., 1994). Shape models of 951
Gaspra indicate a body with dimensions of 18.2 10.5 8.9 km in diameter, and images
of the surface reveal a scarcity of craters larger than 1.5 km in diameter (Fig. 1.1).
Gaspra does show a large number of small craters in the highest resolution imaging from
Galileo, and the surface is further characterized by several large flat areas and concavities,
giving Gaspra a very angular appearance (Figs. 1.1 and 1.2). It is uncertain whether these
concavities and flat areas resulted from impacts or whether they are surface facets that
were first exposed when Gaspra broke off its parent asteroid.
FIGURE 1.1 This picture of asteroid 951 Gaspra is a mosaic of two black-and-white images taken by the Galileo
spacecraft at a range of 5300 km, 10 min before closest approach on October 29, 1991.

asteroid surface. The SSI camera obtained multicolor images in four passbands at spatial
resolutions up to 105 m/pixel (Belton et al., 1996).
243 Ida’s surface has been exposed to cratering processes long enough to have reached
equilibrium, meaning that the surface is disturbed by new impacts at the same rate as older
craters erode away (due to meteorite and micrometeorite bombardment), at least for craters
with diameters up to about 1 km (Belton et al., 1994). This indicates that Ida may have a
substantial regolith, up to approximately 100 m deep (Chapman, 1996). Several dozen large
(40e150 m across) boulders (or blocks) have been described on Ida, presumably deposited by
impact ejection. Ejecta blocks are considered to be evidence of a younger surface because they
are expected to be easily broken down by impact processes at the surface. Thus, it is probable
that the ejecta blocks on 243 Ida’s surface either formed or were exposed recently (Lee et al.,
1996).
243 Ida and other bright members of the Koronis family are S-type asteroids. The observed
spectral similarities of Koronis family members and the observed distribution of spin states in
this family have been interpreted to indicate a young age for the Koronis family, relative to
the age of the solar system (Binzel, 1988). Analysis of the data returned from the Galileo flyby
(e.g., Chapman, 1996) pointed to S-type asteroids like 243 Ida as the source of the OCs.
As some of the first images of 243 Ida were beamed down to Earth, line by line, using the
LGA on board the spacecraft, it became very clear that Ida was not alone in space (Fig. 1.3).
As the images formed in front of their eyes, investigators from the Galileo science team were
astonished to find that a small, irregularly shaped moon hovered close to 243 Ida (Belton
et al., 1996). This discovery is the first confirmed detection of an asteroid satellite. Subsequently
named Dactyl (after the Dactylsdcreatures that inhabited Mount Ida in Greek mythology),
the orbit determination of Ida’s small satellite permitted very precise mass and density

What has Gustavus Adolphus done for the art of war? In a
tactical sense, many things. Before him, not a few noted generals
had introduced improvements naturally growing out of the
introduction of gunpowder. Gustavus made various changes towards
greater mobility. The cumbrous armies of the day were marshalled in
battalia, which were huge, dense squares or phalanxes of deep files
of musketeers and pikemen mixed, awkward and unwieldy. The
recruiting of the day assembled many men of many minds, and the
three arms worked at cross-purposes. Gustavus began by reducing
the pikemen to one-third the entire infantry, and later (1631) formed
whole regiments of musketeers alone. He lightened the musket, did
away with the crutch-rest, till then used in firing, introduced wheel-
locks, paper cartridges, and cartridge-boxes. He taught his men a
much quicker manual of aims. The times and motions of loading and
firing had been some one hundred and sixty; Gustavus reduced
them to ninety-five, which sounds absurdly slow to us to-day. But his
men none the less vastly exceeded the enemy in rapidity of fire. He
lightened the guns of his artillery, and made the drill of other arms
conform to its manœuvres, so that his whole army worked with one
purpose. His batteries became active and efficient. In the Thirty
Years’ War he generally had a preponderance of artillery over the
Imperialists.
To secure better fire, Gustavus reduced his musketeers to six
ranks, which to fire closed into three. This it was which principally
gave it so much greater nimbleness of foot. The troops were well
armed and equipped, and uniformed for the first time. Few wagons
were allowed per regiment, and effectual discipline prevailed. Severe
regulations were enforced. The behavior of the Swedish troops was
the marked reverse of that of Wallenstein’s and Tilly’s forces. Service
and seniority alone secured promotion; nepotism was unknown. The
force Gustavus created was the first truly national regular army.
So much for discipline and tactics, which, in themselves, are of
minor value. But what has given Gustavus Adolphus unfading
reputation as a captain is the conduct, for the first time in the
Christian era, of a campaign in which the intellectual conception
overrides the able, consistent, and at times brilliant execution. From
a mere contest of animal courage he had raised war at one step to
what it really should be, a contest in which mind and character win,
and not brute force. Little wonder that Gustavus, landing at Rügen to
attack the colossal power of the German Empire with his 15,000
men, should have excited the laughter of his enemies, and have
provoked Wallenstein to exclaim that he would drive him back to his
snow-clad kingdom with switches. It appeared like Don Quixote
riding at the windmills. But his action was in truth founded on as
substantial a calculation as Hannibal’s march into Italy, and was
crowned with abundant results. The method of his work could not but
win. And Gustavus did one thing more. He showed the world that
war could be conducted within the bounds of Christian teachings;
that arson, murder, rapine, were not necessary concomitants of able
or successful war; that there was no call to add to the unavoidable
suffering engendered of any armed strife, by inflicting upon innocent
populations that which should be borne by the armies alone. In both
these things he was first and preëminent, and to him belongs
unqualifiedly the credit of proving to the modern world that war is an
intellectual art; and the still greater credit of humanizing its conduct.
