释义
New Millennium Program

Space Exploration
  • A former NASA initiative established in 1995 to develop and test new technologies and instruments for space exploration with strict budgets and schedules. The first of the series was Deep Space 1, launched in October 1998, which tested a xenon ion drive on a mission past asteroid Braille and comet Borrelly. Deep Space 2, also known as the Mars Microprobe Project, consisted of two surface penetrators carried aboard the ill-fated Mars Polar Lander craft. Other spacecraft in the New Millennium Program were members of the Earth Observing and Space Technology series. The program was cancelled in 2009 due to budget cuts.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A NASA programme involving twelve spacecraft that would be used to test and demonstrate new technologies for space exploration. Technologies relevant to planetary missions were called Deep Space, renamed Space Technology in 2000, and those for tasks in Earth orbit were called Earth Observing. Two Deep Space, two Space Technology, and one Earth Observing satellites were launched, but Congress cancelled funding for the programme in 2009, and seven launches were abandoned.
