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. |

A busy period for Rosetta :
- Honda comet tail observation last July - Lutetia observation in January (At very far distance I guess. Does anyone know the distance ?) - Mars flyby in February - Jupiter observation in April in support of New Horizon http://sci.esa.int/science-e/www/object/in...fobjectid=40366 |

This looks to be a battered relic. -------------------- |
