Definition1/12
In 2001, the NEAR-Shoemaker space probe became the first
unmanned probe to soft-land on an asteroid, although it was
primarily designed to do its studies from orbit.
Launched in 1996, it orbited the near-Earth asteroid 433 Eros
for about a year, and in February 2001 used the last of its
propellant to soft-land on the asteroid. Since it was undamaged, it
continued to perform surface studies until it was shut down, about
two weeks later.
