"CONTOUR Spacecraft Possibly Destroyed, NASA Says" "... [CONTOUR Mission Director Robert] Farquhar said late Friday that images from a ground-based telescope of two unknown objects about 250 kilometers apart appeared to be pieces of the comet-chasing craft. He said more investigation was needed to confirm the suspicion and that a concerted search effort would continue at least through Monday in the meantime. ... "In a teleconference with reporters Friday evening, Farquhar said the craft's engines had almost certainly fired and that it was no longer in Earth orbit."
