Introduction

Deep Impact was a NASA space probe launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on January 12, 2005. It was designed to study the interior composition of the comet Tempel 1 (9P/Tempel), by releasing an impactor into the comet. At 05:52 UTC on July 4, 2005, the Impactor successfully collided with the comet’s nucleus. The impact excavated debris from the interior of the nucleus, forming an impact crater. Photographs taken by the spacecraft showed the comet to be more dusty and less icy than had been expected. The impact generated an unexpectedly large and bright dust cloud, obscuring the view of the impact crater.

Spacecraft Operation

To deploy the solar panels:
1. press 2 to unlock the servo, then press 1
2. press 2 to lock the solar panel in place so it doesn’t flex around

I/K for control of the antenna elevation
J/L for control of the antenna rotation

The spacecraft doesn’t have a dedicated thruster. I have add some RCS to move around, there’s is around 220m/s of Dv, so be sure to managing your fuel for maneuvers.

you might want to place the spacecraft in hibernation to make sure it doesn’t run out of battery because the space craft solar panels cant align itself to the sun when time warping
