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

To Ted: both the HRI and MRI images were multispectral -- but as yet, I don't have the wavelengths or even the number of filters. I'll continue digging. (There is a good simulation of what they were hoping for from the HRI, when it came to observing layers in the imact crater walls, at http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/tech/hri.html .)

I think there are six colors in the MRI filter wheel, if I recollect an article in the Planetary Report correctly. Edit: This source gives nine colors for MRI: http://www.deepimpact.umd.edu/collaborativ...IntervSheet.pdf Edit 2: This source gives nine for both. Nothing on the wavelenghts they let in, though. http://www.beltonspace.com/bsei_web_page_g000000.pdf -------------------- ----------------------------------------------
