Rendezvous with a Comet

In the not too distant future, a team of scientists and engineers are on a daring mission to take an up-close look at a comet as it streaks it's way across the galaxy. Their goal is to plot a successful course to rendezvous with the comet and launch a probe to collect scientific data on the object. They must first construct the space probe and then plot the correct intercept course. What seems at first to be a routine exploration is filled with challenges and emergencies. Each obstacle that stands in the way of a succesful mission requires students to work together as a team and use creative problem solving to overcome them.
