United StatesDeep Impact NASA Heliocentric Comet flyby In orbit Successful
United StatesDeep 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.
