Collision with a Comet - July 4, 2005! DEEP IMPACT is a radical mission to excavate the
interior of a comet to launch in 2004 as part of NASA's Discovery Program. The Deep Impact
mission will send a 350-kilogram (770-pound) copper projectile into comet 9P/Tempel 1,
creating a crater as big as a football field and as deep as a seven-story building. A camera
and infrared spectrometer on the spacecraft, along with ground-based observatories, will
study the resulting icy debris blasted off the comet, as well as the pristine interior
material exposed by the impact.

Overview of 2005 SERCH Funding Opportunity
The objective of this SERCH opportunity is to support education
and outreach initiatives, within the SERCH region, that will
increase the awareness and understanding of Earth-Sun system
science, solar system research and universe exploration. SERCH
is particularly interested in proposals for education and
outreach efforts that support the vision and mission of NASA,
NASA’s Vision for Education, the Science Mission Directorate
(SMD) goals and the Support Network Forums.
Furthermore, SERCH is interested in proposals for education
and outreach efforts that support the Broker/Facilitator operating
principles, which include:
| Establishing strong and
lasting partnerships between the space science and education
communities. |
| Highly leveraged programs/projects,
relying upon a multiplier effect to reach as many communities,
teachers, and students as possible. |
| Being inclusive of the broadest possible
audience. Activities that foster the meaningful participation
of underserved/underrepresented groups are encouraged. |
