Alright, last but not least the first "draft" for the Messenger real-time simulation is up and running at http://www.dmuller.net/messenger

It's pretty preliminary, especially the timeline, but I'm mildly confident that total strangers would chip in and provide some timelines as happened for Phoenix and Rosetta. rolleyes.gif Unfortunately I am very busy with non-space work so I cant chip in heaps of research at the moment.

Dont forget Rosetta's flyby at Asteroid Steins on 5 Sep: http://www.dmuller.net/rosetta
