Deep Impact to uncover building blocks of life
www.chinaview.cn 2005-06-30 09:18:10

NASA's comet-slamming Deep Impact spacecraft, which is on scheduled course for a July 4 encounter with comet Tempel 1, has a minor glitch with one camera
The Delta 2 rocket took off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station as planned at 1:47 p.m. EST (1:47 p.m. EST) with a spacecraft -- named Deep Impact -- the size of a small car tucked inside its nose cap. The probe was put on a path to smash a hole in Comet Tempel 1 on July 4 more than 82 million miles from Earth to unlock the mystery of the solar system's origin. (Photo: Xinhua/AFP)
