Deep Impact Lives!!

Although the original Deep Impact mission is done, the spacecraft is in working order. NASA gave it two new tasks under the mission name of EPOXI. The primary task (DIXI or Deep Impact eXtended Investigation) is to fly past comet Hartley 2 in 2010. Along the way (Jan-Aug 2008) the spacecraft observed planets around other stars (EPOCh). Now that EPOCh observations have successfully been completed, the Deep Impact spacecraft is continuing on its way to Hartley 2. Why the weird acronyms? What's happening now? You can lean more about the EPOXI mission on our new website at
