Scientific paper

The New Millenium Program {NMP} Deep Space 1 asteroid-comet flyby mission is now en route to comet 19P/Borrelly for a late September 2001 flyby. DS1 carries particle and field instruments, a monochrome imager, and an IR imaging spectrometer; its UV spectrometer is inoperable. On behalf of the DS1 Science Team, we request STIS imagery and spectroscopy of comet Borrelly at the time of the DS1 encounter in order to provide both support science and context for the flyby datasets; the proposed Borrelly observations will also reveal important new information relating to the intriguing carbon- depletion in this bright, well-known comet with an origin in the Kuiper Belt.
