The Comet Rendezvous Asteroid Flyby (CRAF) mission has the primary goal of determining the composition and physical characteristics of a comet. To achieve this goal, a spacecraft will rendezvous with Comet Kopff and spend 2.5 years near the comet to study it with a variety of instruments. A penetrator will also be released by the spacecraft and propel itself into the nucleus of the comet for direct measurements. This paper presents a typical scenario for orbiting the comet, which provides for meeting all major scientific objectives.
