MINOR BODIES

The minor bodies (comets, asteroids, and satellites) provide very important information about the formation and evolution of the solar system. Radio astronomical study of these objects is not well developed at present, mainly because of sensitivity problems. The VLA Development Plan will permit a major step forward in these studies.
