+ CLEMENTINE - joint mission of the Strategic Defense Initiative
+ Organization and NASA to flight test sensors developed by Lawrence
+ Livermore for SDI. The spacecraft, which is being built by the Naval
+ Research Lab, will be launched in late January 1994 and will go into a
+ 400 km by 8300 km orbit of the Moon for a 2 month mapping mission.
+ Instruments onboard include UV to mid-IR imagers, including an imaging
+ lidar that may be able to also obtain altimetric data for the middle
+ latitudes of the Moon. In early May the spacecraft will be sent out of
+ lunar orbit toward a flyby (11 km/sec ?) of the 4 km x 1 km asteroid
+ 1620 Geographos on August 31 at less than 100 km.

World Spaceflight News - in-depth technical coverage of near-Earth
spaceflight. Mostly covers the shuttle: payload manifests, activity
schedules, and post-mission assessment reports for every mission.

+ signal/noise and benefit/cost ratios have deteriorated pretty badly.
+ I can no longer recommend them.
