January
12 January 18:47:08[1]	Delta II 7925		Cape Canaveral SLC-17B		Boeing IDS
	Deep Impact	NASA	Heliocentric	Comet flyby	In orbit	Successful
	Deep Impact impactor	NASA	Heliocentric	Comet impactor	4 July 05:52	Successful
	Visited 9P/Tempel. Impactor impacted comet to test composition, main probe subsequently reused for EPOXI mission to study extrasolar planets and conduct a flyby of comet 103P/Hartley. Stardust-NExT mission will fly past comet to inspect the crater caused by the impactor, as debris thrown up prevented Deep Impact from doing so.
