Asteroid Tracking Gets Stronger With New Instrument
Camera on Spacecraft Gets Upgrade
System Improves Assessment of Impact Risk
A camera that helped map asteroid Bennu and will do the same at Apophis saw a 70 percent reduction in hot pixels since April 13, 2023, the last time it was tested.
The new system improves the capabilities of NASA JPL's Center for Near Earth Object Studies to assess the impact risk of asteroids that can come close to our planet.
