Scientific paper

The NEAR (Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) spacecraft is scheduled to encounter 433 EROS, a representative S-type asteroid, in June 1997 and will measure its composition and structure to address questions on the origin and evolution of near-Earth objects. Galileo's flybys of the asteroids Gaspra and Ida suggested a measurable magnetic field. The NEAR magnetometer will map the magnitude and geometry of the Eros' magnetic field and its spatial relationship to the geometry of the asteroid. These data will help to identify the link between asteroids and meteorites and will help to determine whether asteroids are solid objects or are fragmented rubble piles.
