Scientific Rationale • Primitive small bodies hold clues to the origin and evolution of the solar system • Trojans and Centaurs are two major populations of small bodies that have never been explored by spacecraft – These dim and distant objects have only been observed by ground-based telescopes • Centaurs are an accessible source of Kuiper Belt and cometary material – 5 -6 A. U. vs. >40 A. U. William K. Hartmann For planning and discussion purposes only
