description Clementine Overview
Clementine was a 1994 lunar mapping and technology demonstration mission jointly managed by the United States Department of Defense and NASA. Launched on 25 January 1994, it entered lunar orbit and collected multispectral images of the Moon's surface, supporting later studies of lunar geology. The mission also tested lightweight spacecraft subsystems under the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization and was intended to observe the asteroid 1620 Geographos, though an attitude-control malfunction prevented that phase.
