July 24, 1998 3 SRTM stretches out for inspection Near-Earth Continued from page 1 "There is the near-Earth asteroid tracking program (NEAT) run by Eleanor Helin and her colleagues, the radar studies done by Steve Ostro and his colleagues, observations at Table Mountain Observ-atory, and dynami­ cal studies by Al Harris, Paul Weissman and Paul Chodas, to name a few. JPL is also involved with seven missions to comets and aster­ oids in the next decade and a half," Yeomans added. The establishment of the pro­ gram office, he said , is an effort to facili tate and coordinate the ground­ based observations of near-Earth objects and to develop a strategy for the scientific exploration of these objects, including their discovery, tracking, physical characterization, spacecraft observations and resource potential. Driven by more sensitive charged-couple device (CCD) detectors, the rate of discov­ ery of near-Earth objects continues to accelerate, he noted. Yeomans noted that personnel within the program office will main­ tain an up-to-date database of near­ Earth objects and "routinely propa­ gate their motions forwru·d for tens of years to see whether any of these objects will make interesting, close­ Earth approaches." p 499528 This activity is not only for JPL Director Dr. Edward Stone, right, and Major General James King, acting hazard assessment, he said, but director of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, check out a closeup also to identify optimal opportuni­ view of the 60-meter (200-foot) mast built for JPL's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) by AEC-Able Engineering Company, as described by David ties for ground- and space-based Messner, left, the company's director of articulated mechanisms, at AEC­ observations of these objects and Able's facility in Goleta. SRTM, scheduled to be flown on an 11-day mission "to identify which bodies might be in September 1999, will utilize radar interferometry to compare images taken exploited for their mineral wealth from the radar antennas in the space shuttle's payload bay and from anten­ in the next century.
