Scientific paper
The Comet Rendezvous Asteroid Flyby Mission (CRAF) is described. After gravity assists from Venus and Earth, the spacecraft will fly by the asteroid 46 Hestia en route to a rendezvous with P/Tempel 2 in Nov. 1996, when the comet is near aphelion. The scientific experiments for the CRAF mission are: an imaging system; a visual and infrared mapping spectrometer; an infrared radiometer; a penetrator carrying a gamma-ray spectrometer, a scanning differential calorimeter and evolved gas analyzer, accelerometers, and temperature probes; a neutral gas and thermal ion mass spectrometer; a secondary ion mass spectrometer for analyzing dust, gas, and thermal ions; a scanning electron microscope and particle analyzer; an X-ray fluorescence and gas chromatographic analyzer for collected dust and ice samples; a dust counter and velocity analyzer; a retarding potential ion mass spectrometer; a supra-thermal ion mass spectrometer and electron analyzer; a magnetometer; and a coordinated radio, electron, and plasma wave analyzer.
