The Latessa spectrometer measures surface temperatures to determine if they are rocky or dusty. Tracking cameras ensure asteroids remain in view, and a high-gain antenna facilitates communication with Earth. The mission is powered by large solar panels, making it the farthest solar-powered mission from the sun.
