Kelly Bezjak, a Red Canyon employee since 2000, is wrapping up her work on Lockheed's Stardust NExT (New Exploration of Tempel 1) spacecraft. Stardusts's mission was to take images of the comet "Tempel 1" impact site left by a probe from the Deep Impact spacecraft in 2005. The flyby went without a hitch - scientists received all the high quality images they were hoping for. Kelly's involvement helped ensure that the targeting of the spacecraft to Tempel 1 was within a couple of degrees of the predictions. The mission was a success on several levels. Studying the surface features of the comet since Deep Space visited enables humankind to make great advances in our knowledge about comets. The project is also being heralded for its low cost, use of existing assets in space, and coordination of large science teams. Congratulations to Kelly for a job well done.
