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 does the Deep Space One program do?
Deep Space One's mission target was to flyby an asteroid called 9969 Braille. This mission was only partially successfull so was extended to include further engineering testing along with an encounter with the comet Borrelly.
Ions of what element were used as a propellant aboard the space probe Deep Space 1?
Xenon ions were used as a propellant aboard the space probe Deep Space 1. The ion propulsion system enabled the probe to achieve impressive speeds and fuel efficiency during its mission.
What can go deep into space?
deep space antiprobe
When was Deep Impact - film - created?
Deep Impact - film - was created in 1997.
What was the Production Budget for Deep Impact?
The Production Budget for Deep Impact was $80,000,000.
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 is the duration of Deep Impact film?
The duration of Deep Impact - film - is 2.02 hours.
When was Deep Space - collection - created?
Deep Space - collection - was created in 1954.
Was the NASA deep impact mission successful?
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
What are the impact of the policies on the government?
