The NEAR Spacecraft
entered the orbit of 433 Eros on February 14, 2000.
The NEAR Spacecraft
measured the composition of Eros to be similar to an ordinary chondrite,
except there was a depletion of sulfur.
Two theories for
the cause of the depletion arose: the volatilization of sulfur during
micrometeorite impacts or partial melting of 433 Eros.
