The sphinx
After several months of hard work and countless hours of suspense waiting, finally the first satellite to reach an asteroid and stay in orbit around it accomplished its mission. The command centre in Virginia burst with joy and everybody started to congratulate each other. The amount of data the satellite was sending was a relief for all the engineers involved in the project. The main goal now was to entirely map the asteroid as it orbited around, along with a complete breakdown of its composition. This way, a complete 3d model of it could be reproduced on the fly. The asteroid course did not represent any danger for the Earth, and, furthermore, its diameter was only of 750 meters. According to the path and situation, the most likely origin of the rock was the result of a collision between greater asteroids or probably a detached portion of a direct impact on the surface of a planet with a lack of atmosphere like Mercury. The data information continued to arrive to the linked system
