Deep Impact
On July 4 2005 (UT), the Deep Impact spacecraft intercepted comet Tempel 1. Director's time at the W. M. Keck Observatory was allocated in order to observe the comet with the High Resolution Echelle Spectrograph (HIRES) on Keck 1, as well as the Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRSPEC) on Keck 2.
