Deep Space 1 mission logo

Deep Space 1 ( DS1 ) is a spacecraft of the NASA New Millennium Program dedicated to testing a payload of advanced, high risk technologies.

Launched on 24 October 1998, the Deep Space mission carried out a flyby of asteroid 9969 Braille, which was selected as the mission's science target.

The Deep Space series was continued by the Deep Space 2 probes, which were launched in January 1999 on Mars Polar Lander and were intended to strike the surface of Mars.

Deep Space 1 was the first spacecraft to use Ion powered rocketry, in contrast to the traditional chemical powered rockets.

Existing spacecraft are tracked by their interactions with the transmitters of the Deep Space Network ( DSN ), in effect an inverse GPS.

Therefore it was a primary mission of the Deep Space 1 demonstration to show long duration use of an ion thruster on a science mission.

The Small Deep Space Transponder ( SDST ) is a compact and light weight radio communications system.

19P / Borrelly | Comet 19P / Borrelly imaged just 160 seconds before Deep Space 1's closest approach.

Deep Space 1 was intended to perform the flyby at at only from the asteroid.

Deep Space 1 then entered its second extended mission phase, focused on retesting the spacecraft's hardware technologies.

Deep Space 1 succeeded in its primary and secondary objectives including flybys of the asteroid Braille and of Comet Borrelly, returning valuable science data and images.
