deep-impact-nasa-spacecraft-declared-defunct_71930_600x450 NASA officials declared the Deep Impact mission lost on Friday Sp 20, 2013, after a computer glitch doomed the comet-smashing spacecraft and NASA scientists therefore ended the Deep Impact comet hunter mission.

It then flew through the debris cloud to capture the resultant fireworks, the first close inspection of a comet’s interior. (See ”’Deep Impact’ Comet Revealed by NASA Flyby.”)
