Abstract

Clarified the fall down site of the copper impactor on the nucleus of Comet Tempel 1 and confirmed the size of craters (diameter and depth), calculated within the framework of the theoretical Kruchinenko–Churyumov–Chubko's model.

Keywords: remote aerospace researches; surface of cometary nucleus
