Genesis Probe
|
Genesis was a Discovery-class mission of the NASA and JPL at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). NASA launched the craft on August 8, 2001 from Cape Canaveral. Genesis went to the L1 Lagrange point between the Earth and the Sun. From December 3, 2001 to April 1, 2004 it exposed collector arrays to pick up atoms of solar wind expelled from the Sun.
Unfortunately the return mission was not successful and the probe returner crashed into the desert, but some useful data has still been received.
