NASA Administrator [[Daniel S. Goldin]] named Kevin L. Petersen, who had been serving in an acting capacity since August 1998, as Director of NASA's [[Dryden Flight Research Center]] (DFRC) in Edwards, California. Petersen had joined Dryden as an aerospace engineer in 1974 and had worked on flight-research projects, including the F-8 Digital Fly-by-Wire, the [[HiMAT]] (the Highly Maneuverable Aircraft Technology), and the [[X-29]] forward-swept wing projects. He had served as Chief of the Vehicle Technology Branch, Chief of the [[National Aerospace Plane]] Projects Office, and, since January 1996, as DFRC's Deputy Director NASA released findings from its [[Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous]] ([[Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous|NEAR]]) spacecraft's flyby of asteroid 433, known as Eros. The flyby had occurred on 23 December 1998. The [[Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous|NEAR]] spacecraft's instruments had collected data revealing that the asteroid was slightly smaller than previously thought, with at least two medium-sized craters and a density comparable to that of the Earth's crust. *[[January 1999|January]] *[[February 1999|February]] [[Feb 1 1999|1]] [[Feb 2 1999|2]] [[Feb 3 1999|3]] [[Feb 4 1999|4]] [[Feb 5 1999|5]] [[Feb 6 1999|6]] [[Feb 7 1999|7]] [[Feb 8 1999|8]] [[Feb 9 1999|9]] [[Feb 10 1999|10]] [[Feb 11 1999|11]] [[Feb 12 1999|12]] [[Feb 13 1999|13]] [[Feb 14 1999|14]] [[Feb 15 1999|15]] [[Feb 16 1999|16]] [[Feb 17 1999|17]] [[Feb 18 1999|18]] [[Feb 19 1999|19]] [[Feb 20 1999|20]] [[Feb 21 1999|21]] [[Feb 22 1999|22]] [[Feb 23 1999|23]] [[Feb 24 1999|24]] [[Feb 25 1999|25]] [[Feb 26 1999|26]] [[Feb 27 1999|27]] [[Feb 28 1999|28]] *[[March 1999|March]]
