Impact!

This is good for business!

I work at Ball Aerospace, and, although I played only a small part in fixing a problem with the star camera on the Impactor spacecraft a couple of weeks ago for the Deep Impact program, I am happy to see that the DI team succeeded. The Deep Impact program, which just smashed a copper mass (inside the Impactor) into a comet, is the first program for which Ball Aerospace has ever built an interplanetary spacecraft. In this case, of course, it was really a pair of spacecraft: the Impactor and the Flyby.
