Flashback: NEAR on Eros
NASA's NEAR (Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) Shoemaker spacecraft landed on the surface of the 21-mile long asteroid Eros on February 12, 2001. NEAR was the first spacecraft to land on an asteroid, and thrilled scientists, sending back "bonus data" for more than two weeks after the landing.
