Deep Impact is not the only mission aimed at a comet. The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Rosetta probe is headed toward a comet encounter of its own, but took time out of its mission to turn its camera toward Tempel 1 during the Deep Impact encounter.
““Tonight we have put a new trail for other people to follow after us,” JPL director Charles Elachi said after the successful impact. “The Stardust mission is coming back [to Earth] with comet samples, and Rosetta will be landing on a comet.” |
