An undated artist conception image released recently by Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. shows the Deep Impact Impactor spacecraft (L) hurtling towards its planned impact on the comet Tempel 1, after being released from Deep Impact spacecraft (R). NASA expects the Deep Impact spacecraft to release the impactor towards the comet on July 3, 2005, and the Deep Impact spacecraft will then take images of the impact and debris cloud when the event occurs a few hours later.
