About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Workers in the Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Facility 2 (SAEF-2) move the antenna that is to be installed on the solar panel for the Comet Nucleus Tour (CONTOUR) spacecraft (seen in the background). CONTOUR will provide the first detailed look into the heart of a comet -- the nucleus. The spacecraft will fly as close as 60 miles (100 kilometers) to at least two comets, Encke and Schwassmann-Wachmann 3.
