"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!

QUOTE (Holder of the Two Leashes @ Nov 9 2007, 12:37 PM)  Please note that the Minor Planet Center's official designation for Rosetta is asteroid 2007 VN84 2007 VN84 Editorial Notice This'll be the third time that this has occurred. There was 'J002E3 that turned out to be the S-IVb from Apollo 12 back in '02. Before that the satellite WIND was marked down as a potential Earth impact threat, at least until it used its RCS system to change orbit. |
