On September 22, 2001 Deep Space 1 flew by Comet 19P/Borrelly carrying the Plasma Experiment for Planetary Exploration (PEPE) which contained a linear-electric field time-of-flight mass spectrometer. In addition to identifying atomic ions, PEPEs mass spectrometer is capable of splitting molecular components (e.g. H2O, OH, CO) into their constituent atoms and returning information on the original molecules mass and its daughter products. This results in complex spectra containing a wealth of information. Progress on the results from the analysis of the mass spectra obtained during the flyby of Comet 19P/Borrelly will be presented. The authors would like to thank NASA OSS for supporting the DS1 Mission and scientific investigations which have made this work possible.
