Deep Impact impactor | NASA | Heliocentric | Comet impactor | 4 July 05:52 |
Successful | ||
Visited 9P/Tempel. Impactor impacted comet to test composition, main probe subsequently reused for EPOXI mission to study extrasolar planets and conduct a flyby of comet 103P/Hartley. Stardust-NExT mission will fly past comet to inspect the crater caused by the impactor, as debris thrown up prevented Deep Impact from doing so. | |||||||
