        The Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) satellite was a Ballistic Missile
        Defense Organization long-duration measurement platform that collected
        data on Earth, Earth limb, and celestial backgrounds from April 1996  
        through February 1997.  The primary celestial background objective of 
        MSX was to complete the census of the infrared sky.  To this end, MSX 
        surveyed those areas of the sky either missed by IRAS or in which the 
        IRAS sensitivity was degraded by confusion.  A description of the     
        results of the MSX survey may be found in Price et al. (2001) Astron. 
        J. 121, 2819-2842 [PRICEETAL2001].                                    
                                                                              
        During the mission, many asteroids were serendipitously observed.     
        Essentially the same procedures that were used to create the          
        Supplemental IRAS Minor Planet Survey (SIMPS) (Tedesco et al. 2002,   
        AJ123, 1056) [TEDESCOETAL2002A] were used to create the MSX Infrared  
        Minor Planet Survey (MIMPS).  A full description of MIMPS may be      
        found in Tedesco et al. 2002, AJ 124, 583 [TEDESCOETAL2002B].         
                                                                              
        The data set consists of a sightings file with a complete list of MSX 
        asteroid sightings, a diameters and albedos file listing results for  
        each asteroid (including singleton as well as multiple sightings), and
        a table of the filter bandpasses."
