Well Rosetta isn't going to get to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (Chury) till 2014, but it's not to early to set up a thread. There are a bunch of earth fly-bys, a Mars encounter at 200km in 2007 and a few asteriod passes. Not to mention the mission to land on the comet itself.
Only another nine and a half years to go. |

QUOTE The rest of the mission manoeuvres will be performed at low pressure, with lower but acceptable efficiency. No impact on the comet science operations is expected and in particular the date for lander delivery is kept within the originally planned window. (My bolding.)Well for now at least, it looks like they have a handle on it. |
