The mission was born in Zurich on 22 May 1985, when it was accepted as a Cornerstone science project by the ESA Space Science Advisory Committee. It was then known as the Comet Nucleus Sample Return mission (CNSR) and was envisaged as a collaboration with NASA. After a few years NASA's priorities changed, so the highly ambitious sample return mission evolved into a slightly less complex ESA-only mission dedicated to a comet rendezvous and two asteroid flybys. 1, record 9, English, - Comet%20Nucleus%20Sample%20Return%20Mission

Extending from the head is the "tail" of the comet, although unlike most tails in nature it is sometimes in front of the comet. The tail (and not all comets have tails) points away from the sun, so as the comet recedes from the sun the tail will lead the way. 4, record 10, English, - tail

Record number: 12, Textual support number: 1 CONT

NASA normally uses the Vomit Comet to train astronauts, test equipment and carry out experiments. The fun starts when the plane noses over into a steep dive, creating a free fall that simulates the weightlessness of outer space. But the price for 30 seconds of floating fun is sudden, equal doses of two Gs, or a doubling of Earth's gravity. It's the sudden reversal that causes many passengers to lose their lunch. 4, record 12, English, - Vomit%20Comet

Commonly known as the "Vomit Comet" or "Weightless Wonder" this particular plane, a Boeing 707, started out life in 1959 as an Air Force aerial tanker, but was used in the space agency's microgravity experiments from 1973 to 1995. 2, record 12, English, - Vomit%20Comet
