Visualisation of the Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) Scout as it flies slowly by the target asteroid. NEA Scout was a CubeSat that was launched on 16 November 2022 as a secondary payload on Artemis I. Its purpose was to take pictures of a near-Earth asteroid and observe its position in space. The spacecraft was roughly the size of a large shoebox and was designed to be propelled by a solar sail. Unfortunately, the project team was unable to communicate with the spacecraft after launch. | |
