Missions
Deep Impact
As explained by the Ball Aerospace website, "Deep Impact was the eighth mission in NASA's Discovery Program and the first mission to attempt impact with a comet nucleus to probe beneath its surface. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. designed and built the cutting-edge, dual-spacecraft system and the instruments that captured the collision. Impact with comet Tempel 1 occurred on July 4, 2005, and gave scientists an unprecedented view of the characteristics of comets and pristine materials inside them."
