		Because of the high probability of not seeing Annefrank during the approach, the flyby was designed to be successful without having to see it up to 20 minutes from encounter.
		Since Annefrank was not seen in the approach images, the flight team felt that the asteroid was at least as dim as predicted and possibly even dimmer.
		Annefrank is about twice as large as predicted, at least 6 kilometers in diameter, but darker than expected and therefore more difficult to detect in the early images.

	5535 Annefrank
		The Annefrank flyby offered a unique opportunity to thoroughly test all the operations planned for the encounter at Wild 2, where Stardust will collect samples from the cloud of dust around the comet for return to Earth.
		When Annefrank could not be seen during earlier approach, the flight team concluded the asteroid might be dimmer than anticipated, so it sent up commands for the camera to use longer exposures during the early stages of the encounter.
		Asteroid Annefrank is seen as irregularly shaped, cratered body in an image taken by NASA's Stardust spacecraft during a November 2 flyby of the asteroid.

		It will be a moment tinged in history when the Stardust spacecraft flies by Asteroid 5535 Annefrank on Friday, testing many systems and procedures to be used in a comet enounter in a little more than a year.
		Asteroid 5535 was discovered by prolific German asteroid hunter Karl Reinmuth in March 1942 but was not named Annefrank until long after World War II.
		Now Annefrank happens to be the asteroid that lies on the right course to help Stardust and its controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., prepare for the tasks they face come Jan. 2, 2004.

		5535 Annefrank is an inner main belt asteroid, and member of the Augusta family.
		In 2002, the Stardust space probe flew past 5535 Annefrank at a distance of 3079 km, and took photographs that showed it to be 6.6 × 5.0 × 3.4 km in diameter, twice as big as previously thought and of an irregular shape with craters.
		From the photographs, the albedo of 5535 Annefrank was computed as 0.24.

	Asteroid 5535 Annefrank size, shape, and orientation: Stardust first results
		The NASA Discovery Stardust spacecraft flew by the main belt asteroid 5535 Annefrank at a distance of 3100 km and a speed of 7.4 km/s in November 2002 to test the encounter sequence developed for its primary science target, the comet 81P/Wild 2.
		This viewing showed that Annefrank was at least 6.6 × 5.0 × 3.4 km in size (diameters), with its shortest dimension normal to its orbit plane.
		Annefrank is highly angular, with flat appearing surfaces, possibly planes formed when it was fractured off of a larger parent body.

		Asteroid Annefrank is seen as irregularly shaped, cratered body in an image taken by NASA's Stardust spacecraft during a Nov. 2 flyby of the asteroid.
		Stardust flew within about 3,300 kilometers (2,050 miles) of the asteroid as a rehearsal for the spacecraft's encounter with its primary target, comet Wild 2, in January 2004.
		The camera's resolution was sufficient to show that Annefrank is about 8 kilometers (5 miles) in length, twice the predicted size from Earth-based observations.

		During its 2.88 billion-mile voyage Stardust made one pass by Earth to get a speed boost from the planet's gravity, and later staged a dress-rehearsal for the comet encounter when it maneuvered very close to Asteroid 5535 Annefrank.

	Annefrank Flyby A Success
		It turned out that we were approaching the asteroid's night side, and since all asteroids are different shapes, you can't definitively say which side will be light and which side will be dark.
		The pictures we got show that the Annefrank asteroid is a lot bigger and a lot darker than we originally expected.
		While the Annefrank flyby excited scientists involved, this weekend's operation only constituted a dress rehearsal of sorts for the Stardust spacecraft's upcoming encounter with the comet Wild 2 (pronounced vild two).
