Today a member of the camera science team put up the first images of the comet on his office door. So the camera works. He said on the image is M107 and the comet could this be?

At a member's suggestion I've now created a dedicated Rosetta subforum. This should now be the active thread for Rosetta discussion. Instrument commissioning is almost over and there hasn't been much discussion, so this thread may morph into the comet approach thread.
Everybody should be reading the Rosetta blog for detailed updates on the mission status; most are written by Emily Baldwin (Space Science Editor for ESA Portal, also @esascience). Including the attached new CIVA selfie, which is cooler in theory than in fact (it's low-res and awfully JPEGgy) -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
