"Yesterday, 18 October at 18:06 CEST, the thrusters of ESA’s comet chaser, Rosetta, were fired in a planned, 42-second trajectory correction manoeuvre designed to 'fine tune' the spacecraft's approach to Earth. Rosetta is now approaching Earth for its second planetary swing-by of 2007."
From here. Maybe it is time to start a new thread... Get out of the way, Rosetta is coming to visit us at full speed! ![]() -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
