Science Payload/Data Return

Framing Camera :		German Aerospace Center, DLR, Institute of Space Sensor Technology and Planetary Exploration, Berlin.
Mapping Spectrometer :		The Institute for Astrophysics in Space (IAFS), Rome
Gamma Ray and Neutron Spectrometer :		Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos NM

Data Return:

• Full surface imagery of Vesta and Ceres images in seven colors at Vesta and in three at Ceres
• Full surface with mapping spectrometer in three bands, 0.35 to 0.9 micron, 0.8 to 2.5 micron and 2.4 to 5.0 micron
• Neutron and gamma ray spectra to produce maps of the surface elemental composition of each asteroid, including the abundance of major rock-forming elements (O, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, and Fe), trace elements (Gd and Sm), long-lived radioactive elements (K, Th, and U), and light elements such as H, C, and N, which are the major constituents of ices.
• Radio tracking to determine mass, gravity field, principal axes, rotational axis and moments of inertia.
