  Mission Status
• 5th Anniversary
  July 4, 2010, marks the 5th anniversary of the Deep Impact encounter with 9P/Tempel. We can't believe that it's been 5 years! Seems just like yesterday that we were getting ready for that mission. Relive the good times by exploring the awesome images in the Deep Impact galleries and check out what we learned from Deep Impact.

EDUCATION

• Seeing in 3-D: Stereo Pairs
  Deep Impact got some really neat pictures of comet Tempel 1. Problem is, most people saw them flat on a screen or piece of paper. But the comet is three dimensional and interesting details emerge when you can see the comet in 3-D. Build your own stereoscope and take a look!

EPOXI E-News features information about the mission, its outreach web site, and products, services, and materials available from the EPOXI Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) team. The EPOXI mission combines two exciting science investigations in an entirely new mission that re-uses the Deep Impact spacecraft. The Extrasolar Planet Observation and Characterization (EPOCh) investigation observed stars that are known to have transiting giant planets. The Deep Impact Extended Investigation (DIXI) of comets observes comet 103P/Hartley 2 during a close flyby in November 2010. The EPOXI mission is a partnership among the University of Maryland (UMD), the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Ball Aerospace and Technology Corp (BATC), and Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). EPOXI is a NASA Discovery mission of opportunity. See our website at epoxi.astro.umd.edu.
