NEAR Multispectral Imager (MSI)

    Description

    The NEAR multispectral imaging system (MSI) is based on a 537x244 pixel CCD camera with eight filters covering the spectral range from 0.4 to 1.1 microns. It is designed to take images with the scientific objectives of mapping asteroid morphology and surface composition, determining the overall size, shape, and spin characteristics.
