Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
(06/19/2002) - Technicians begin removing the bottom of the container from the Comet Nucleus Tour (CONTOUR) spacecraft. The container surrounded it during transfer from KSC. 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 a Boeing Delta II rocket is scheduled for July 1, 2002
