(06/05/2002) -- The Comet Nucleus Tour (CONTOUR) spacecraft is on display for the media in the Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Facility 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 them. CONTOUR is scheduled for launch aboard a Delta II rocket July 1, 2002, from Launch Complex 17-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
