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. |

Yeah, but I was adressing the fact the joint part of the observations is over. Probably has been for quite a while now.

The flyby portion of the joint study is over, but joint observations do continue.
From: http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00000875/ "Feb 28 03:00 Turn to Jupiter for New Horizons flyby support [activity descriptions removed -- CW_II] 08:00 End New Horizons Jupiter flyby support Mar 1 19:30 ALICE observations of Jupiter begin Following its flyby, New Horizons will exit the Jupiter system by flying down Jupiter's magnetotail. Rosetta will be able to study the Jupiter system using its ALICE instrument from outside the magnetic field at the same time that New Horizons studies it with its own ALICE instrument form inside the magnetic field. The observations will take place in a total of 22 blocks over the next two months, each block lasting anywhere from an hour to nearly four days. May 9 17:30 ALICE observations of Jupiter end" |
