On February 7, 1999, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) successfully launched the STARDUST
spacecraft. STARDUST is the first ever US mission devoted to the
return of extraterrestrial matter collected from outside the orbit
of the Moon and aims to bring cometary material and interstellar
dust back to Earth after its rendezvous with the comet Wild 2 in
January 2004. Visitors to the site can monitor the progress of
STARDUST, read about the plans and objectives of the mission, and
learn more about the science behind comet-chasing. [AO]
