Decrypt depth impact, detectors including the flying machine and the impact for

Flying machine

Appearance: approximately equal to pioneer a Ford vehicle

Weight: approx. 380 kg unit: equipped with high-performance CPU and high stability of direction control system. A fixed solar array and small nickel-metal hydride batteries, high-gain antennas, fragments of the protective device, high resolution imager and medium resolution imaging, 34 metre wavelength of the x-band radio with the Earth and the impact that maintain communication.

Skills: A. transmission data. When the impact for the short period of time to hit the Comet, due to the rapid increase in the detector records data, its signal to the ground each overlapping antenna transmission. Detector of initial data will immediately be transmitted to the ground, then data will be transmitted within a week. B. observation record crash. On 4 July the Comet was hit 24 hours before the release of "deep impact" impact. After flying over the device will reduce the speed and change the route, at a distance of Comet observations impact within 500 km and recording process. C. collection of Comet nucleus samples. The impact occurred, using its optical imaging and infrared spectrum on impact and fragments of Comet materials, impact after scanning a dozen seconds Comet nuclei changes on crash, impact crater formation and hang internal imaging, gets the major nuclear and impact energy spectrum within the pit, and storage, send images and Spectra data, also receive impact device back to the data, collected samples from the Comet internal material, analysis of the structure and composition of the Comet nucleus.

Impact for

Appearance: looks like the "garbage bin", and coffee table size equal. Weight: approx. 370 kg. Mainly consists of 49% of copper and 24% of aluminium.

Unit: one called "impact to the target remote sensor" high-precision star Tracker. In fact it is a zone of aperture to 12 cm telescope targeting camera for impact for flying to the Comet during navigation. 25 m/s propelling speed of hydrazine propulsion systems, to promote the necessary orbit and attitude control. Skills: A. provide photos. Impact and flying with detachment, in hitting the Comet Comet nucleus, 2 seconds before the collision for using their camera, at a distance of approximately 20 to Comet 300 kilometers between shooting ever clear Comet nucleus photos, photos of resolution 0.5 m/pixel.

B. impact Comet nucleus, a kinetic energy equivalent of 4.5 tons of TNT explosive energy.
