Abstract :
NASA´s Deep Space 1 mission was enabled by several break-through technologies including autonomous optical navigation (AutoNav), miniature integrated camera and spectrometer (MICAS), on-board data processing, model-based science observation sequence planning, and science information analysis. This paper describes a few notable challenges for the MICAS system with respect to flight calibration and observations of comet Borrelly.
