Deep Impact is a NASA space probe scheduled for launch on December 30, 2004. The probe will approach the nucleus of Comet Tempel 1 on July 4, 2005. One section of the probe, called the impactor, will separate and plunge toward the nucleus. 24 hours later, it will impact the nucleus, blowing a 100 metre-wide crater. The entire event will be photographed and studied by the other half of the probe. The purpose of all this is to study the interior of a comet, something never achieved before.
