NAME The Deep Impact Flyby (DIF) Spacecraft
TYPE Spacecraft
DESCRIPTION The Deep Impact Flyby spacecraft, which survived the encounter with comet 9P/Tempel 1, weighed 601 kg (excluding the Impactor spacecraft) and measured 3.3m x 1.7m x 2.3m. In addition to navigation, solar panels, and several science instruments, the flyby spacecraft also carried the impactor spacecraft to the Tempel 1 encounter.
