18-Oct-02 | Stardust nears an asteroid
Early on 2 November (04:50 UTC), Stardust will pass within about 3,000 kilometers of the asteroid 5535 Annefrank. The fly-by, while not close enough to provide any significant science return, will enable controllers to test out camera tracking and other procedures that will be key to a successful encounter at comet Wild-2 in 2004.
