At 5:52 UTC on 4 July 2005, the impactor of the Deep Impact probe successfully impacted the comet's nucleus, excavating debris from the interior of the nucleus. Photographs of the impact showed the comet to be more dusty and less icy than expected. The impact generated a large, bright dust cloud that obscured the hoped-for view of the impact crater. Scientists are still analyzing the observations

Why did nasa carry out the deep impact mission?
NASA carried out the Deep Impact mission to study the composition of Comet Tempel 1 by impacting a copper mass into it. By studying the resulting crater and debris, scientists hoped to gain insights into the physical and chemical properties of comets, which can provide clues about the formation of our solar system.
What country sent the deep impact mission?
the united states of America through N.A.S.A
What was cool about the space mission deep impact?
A couple of things made this mission a particularly interesting one.The first time a man made object landed on (albeit slammed into) a comet.The first time we could actually have a look inside a comets nucleus, instead of just flyby's.Many experts had different opinions about what would really happen once the impact took place.These are a few points of the top of my mind that I can think of that made the Deep Impact mission such an interesting one.
What is the name of one of NASA's space missions?
I am not sure if by "space mission" You mean a mission to a distant object or into deep space or manned or unmanned. Voyager I and II are unmanned deep space missions, both launched in 1977. More than thirty years later they are both still running (as of today: March 10, 2010). The unmanned Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity were rover launched to Mars in 2004. Opportunity is still running fine but Spirit is stationary because two of its six main wheels have stalled. The Apollo Missions were manned moon missions in the nineteen-sixties and seventies. They were also very successful.
How many comets have been studied by spacecraft?
As of 2021, spacecraft have studied five comets up close: Halley's Comet (by the European Space Agency's Giotto spacecraft), Comet Borrelly (by NASA's Deep Space 1), Comet Wild 2 (by NASA's Stardust spacecraft), Comet Tempel 1 (by NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft), and Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (by the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft).
What impact has Muhammad Ali put on boxing?

What is the duration of Deep Impact film?
The duration of Deep Impact - film - is 2.02 hours.
Does Jupiter have a deep atmosphere?
Yes, but it is still unknown how deep. That is one of the reasons NASA sent spacecraft Juno to the moon.
