Deep impact spacecraft flyby instrument pointing in the presence of a non-active impactor spacecraftThis paper deals only with the pointing error contribution due to errors in predicting the impact location and describes the acquisition of optical data of the Impactor and associated errors using the flyby instruments; the algorithm for autonomously computing a pointing correction; the expected uncertainty in predicting the impact location; the uncertainty in the flyby pointing correction, and hence the improvement in performance.
