Don Clopein adjusts the CONTOUR Remote Imager/Spectrograph instrument — or CRISP — during spacecraft integration work at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. CRISP will take the highest-resolution pictures ever of a comet's nucleus, while mapping the different rock and ice types on the nucleus' surface. The small red and gold boxes on the left side of the spacecraft are thrusters that will be used to guide and control CONTOUR.
