Abstract
This chapter reviews the history of and the results from the Deep Impact mission, its extension as the EPOXI mission, and its further extension as a remote observatory for cometary studies. The mission has had a major impact on the understanding of comets and on their role in solar system formation. It has also provided considerable information needed for planetary defense against Near-Earth Objects (NEOs).
