Scientific paper

A Clementine mission scheduled for launch in 1994 to space-qualify a set of lightweight electronic cameras for the Department of Defense to use in detecting and tracking ballistic missiles is described. Clementine will carry instruments that are sensitive in several portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. These instruments will include an UV/visible CCD camera, NIR and long-wavelength infrared cameras, and a combined high-resolution CCD camera and laser ranging system (LIDAR). The Clementine spacecraft weighs about 220 kg and will be launched on a refurbished Titan IIG missile.
