Artwork showing NEAR spacecraft
NEAR spacecraft. Artwork depicting the NEAR spacecraft. NEAR (Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) is the first mission in NASAs Discovery programme of small, low-cost spacecraft. Launched in February 1996, NEAR will first fly by asteroid 253 Mathilde (1997) before entering orbit around 433 Eros in 1999. NEAR will conduct a 10-month survey of the asteroid using visible light cameras, infrared and X-ray spectrometers and a laser altimeter. Discovery missions take less than 3 years to develop, and are limited to $150 million for construction, launch and the first 30 days of operation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the NEAR spacecraft, a significant milestone in NASA's Discovery program. Launched in February 1996, NEAR (Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) represents the first mission of its kind - a small and cost-effective spacecraft designed to explore celestial bodies within our reach. The print captures the essence of this groundbreaking endeavor. NEAR's ambitious journey began with a flyby of asteroid 253 Mathilde in 1997 before entering orbit around its primary target, asteroid 433 Eros, in 1999. Equipped with an array of advanced instruments including visible light cameras, infrared and X-ray spectrometers, as well as a laser altimeter, NEAR embarked on an extensive ten-month survey of this enigmatic space rock. The intricate details depicted in this artwork highlight the scientific prowess behind NEAR's exploration mission. Its cutting-edge technology allowed scientists to gather invaluable data about asteroids' composition and structure while unraveling mysteries that lie within these extraterrestrial objects. As part of NASA's Discovery program, which emphasizes swift development and limited budget constraints ($150 million for construction, launch, and initial operations), NEAR exemplifies humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond Earth's boundaries. This mesmerizing print from Science Photo Library serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unwavering curiosity about the cosmos. It symbolizes mankind’s unyielding spirit for research and exploration into uncharted territories – forever pushing the boundaries of what we know about our
