2. Deep Impact FRRJan. 8, 2005Page 2 Project Overview Salient Features Deliver a 370 kg impactor at 10 km/s to open the interior of a comet nucleus. Target is Comet P/Tempel 1. Impactor produces crater dependent on comet porosity and strength. Flyby spacecraft observes impact, crater development, ejecta and final crater with visible and IR multi-spectral instruments. On-board autonomous optical navigation used for precise targeting and control of impactor and fly-by spacecraft. 6 month mission duration. Launch: Jan 12, 2004 Encounter: July 4, 2005. Science To determine the differences between the interior of a cometary nucleus and its surface. Determine basic cometary properties by observing how the crater forms after impact. To identify materials in the pristine comet interior by measuring the composition of the ejecta from the comet crater. Determine the changes in natural outgassing of the comet produced by the impact. To help discover whether comets lose their ice, or seal it in over time (evidence for dormancy vs. extinction). Address terrestrial hazard from cometary impacts.

12. Deep Impact FRRJan. 8, 2005Page 12 Impact of BET Change DI did not want to accept delta-V budget hit caused by injection biases Correcting the RLA biases required earlier launch and thus moved the separation times earlier (key to our issue) Earlier separation impacts the S/C critical sequence –Project did not want to change the critical sequence and inherent logic that has been tested for two years –For the first launch azimuth on Jan 12th only, this meant the S/C would “sit” for several seconds after separation waiting for the critical sequence to start. This brought in to question the viability of the fault protection response logic –Change would mean additional regeneration of products and retest for the first azimuth only, and a different set of products for all other opportunities Not where we want to be this close to launch when the team is concentrating on preparations for operations The decision to not use the first azimuth was the least risk approach for the mission, retained the critical sequence and fault protection logic in its as tested configuration, and (by the way) did not impact the project’s delta-V budget
