Dr. Sanford, who is\nco-director of the NASA Ames Astrochemistry Laboratory, will speak about\nsample return from comets and asteroids in general, and specifically\nabout the Stardust Sample and Return Mission to Comet Wild 2.\n\nDr. Sanford was one of the original team members to propose capturing\ndust from a comet and bringing it back to Earth. Stardust was launched\nin February 1999, and in January 2004 approached Wild 2 within 150 miles\nof the nucleus, collecting samples and capturing detailed imagery of the\ncomet's surface.  On January 15th 2006 Stardust re-entered the Earth's\natmosphere and successfully completed it's mission after landing in the\nsalt flats of northwestern Utah.\n\nSo be sure to join us Sunday afternoon for what promises to be an\nexciting event.\n\nThe 2006 Space Symposium will be a joint meeting with the ARISS\nInternational Delegates and will also include the IARU Satellite\nAdvisory Panel annual meeting, and a meeting of AMSAT International\nDelegates.
