The Comet Rendezvous Asteroid Flyby mission is strongly supported by the scientific community. Two major events during the past year have forced a re-analysis of the mission options, with the goal of selecting a baseline mission for launch in 1993. Venus and earth gravity assists can be used to allow rendezvous with comet Tempel 2 in 1996; the scientific potential of the resulting mission is excellent. Although backup mission opportunities have been identified, the significantly longer flight times weaken the scientific appeal of these missions.
