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 |

QUOTE (Rakhir @ Nov 20 2006, 11:57 PM)  - Lutetia observation in January (At very far distance I guess. Does anyone know the distance ?) This doesn't give an exact distance but it looks pretty far. Rosetta is currently interior to Mars in its orbit, so it looks like it's around 1 AU away. From http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/db?name=21
