Titre : The Comet Nucleus Tour (CONTOUR) spacecraft is mated to the upper stage of a Boeing
Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
(06/17/2002) -- The Comet Nucleus Tour (CONTOUR) spacecraft is mated to the upper stage of a Boeing Delta II rocket in the Space Assembly and Encapsulation Facility 2 (SAEF-2). CONTOUR will provide the first detailed look into the heart of a comet -- the nucleus. Flying as close as 60 miles (100 kilometers) to at least two comets, the spacecraft will take the sharpest pictures yet of a nucleus while analyzing the gas and dust that surround these rocky, icy building blocks of the solar system. Launch of CONTOUR aboard the Delta II is scheduled for July 1, 2002, from Launch Complex 17-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
