STARDUST Status Report
November 8, 2002
Stardust successfully flew past asteroid Annefrank, taking more than 70
images and testing the operations to be used during the primary encounter
at Comet Wild 2 in about 14 months. The testing was an overwhelming success
Details on the encounter are available here:
http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news94.html
The spacecraft is operating in good health. The flight team had
seven periods of radio contact with it through the antennas of the Deep
Space Network.
