Only 78 days to Stein encounter ! I can't believe I forgot about this event.

Ones I can think of
Galileo did Gaspera, then Ida & Dactly (that's only one flyby though - Dactyl was just gravy ) NEAR did Maltide then EROS, then orbited Eros Stardust did Annefrank DS1 did Braille ( although that didn't go well ) 6 proper planned ones then I think. Technically, NH did 132524_APL, and Cassini did Masursky - but they're more of a distant encounter rather than flybys. |

Ones I can think of... This is a bit late of a reply because of my vacation, but I'll point out my post here, which shows the 7 asteroid systems (8 bodies total) and 4 comets that have been imaged to date. And don't forget Vega 1 and Giotto also imaged Halley. So depending on how you add things up you can come up with anywhere from 11 to 14 "encounters." A number of people have requested a single-image version of my scale montage -- I have that together and will post it this week as soon as I round up the image credits. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
