Although this mission will be driven by the requirements of technology validation (especially solar electric propulsion), it will encounter an asteroid, a comet, and the planet Mars.
The first encounter will be with the Amor asteroid (3352) McAuliffe in January 1999, and the second with the periodic comet West-Kohoutek-Ikemura in June 2000.

The most significant new technology tested on DS1 was a solar-electric propulsion system, but it also tested advanced solar arrays, autonomous mission software, a new communications system, a compact plasma analyzer, and a miniaturized combined camera and imaging spectrometer,
DS1 was originally planned to fly by asteroid 3352 McAuliffe and by comet West-Kohoutek-Ikemura, but in fact neither of these specific objectives were achieved.
On 28 July 1999, DS1 did perform a flyby of the asteroid 9969 Braille, but due to a mission planning screwup, when the images were downloaded over the next few days, nothing was visible except empty space.
