Well - impactor TCM 1 went well - <0.3% error and it's on course for a nominal impact time. PI has suggested that the comet is Banana shaped and we're going to hit the end of it which looks a little triangular

Final ITM (ITM 3) occurs in <3 min. As I understand it, on board autonav targeting data indicates agreement with ground track (radio) data is within <1Km....
I have to say this is considerably more exciting than I had expected. |
