One of Nasas space probes appears to be missing. The science probe was scheduled to depart Earth orbit on Thursday for a 2003 encounter with a comet. The Comet Nucleus Tour, or Contour, spacecraft was to have fired its manoeuvering engine at 2349 GMT on Wednesday for 50 seconds and contact its ground control team at the Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, Maryland, 45 minutes later.
