Formal Start of Mars Swingby Phase
21 Aug 2006 08:51 Report for Period 28 July to 18 August 2006 The reporting period covers three weeks of active cruise for the Rosetta spacecraft. During this period, telemetry generated during Passive Cruise period was dumped to ground, and some maintenance activities were performed on on-board control procedures (OBCP) and mass memory files. report The instruments remained off during the reporting period, except for SREM which was kept active in the background for the entire period.

But right now Ares is just an expensive power-point show and Shuttle no longer lauches payloads like Galileo or Compton anymore, Ariane-5 was the biggest rocket they could use - plus it's a whole lot more cheaper than an STS flight.

I wonder if Rosetta has any chance to image the Martian moons? It's hard to image them from the orbit (especially Deimos) so it could be good to have additional images of them.

10 million miles away from Mars
Rosetta will be soon exactly 10,000,000 miles away from Mars at 2007-Feb-04 05:26:33 UTC, and going almost directly toward Mars with a speed of 20560 mph.

Success!
Rosetta successfully swings-by Mars – next target: Earth
Beautiful new images from Rosetta’s approach to Mars

Stunning pictures !
Yes in November 2007 we have the Second Earth fly-by, finally in 2008 it will reach asteroid Steins but it won't be until 2014 that it sends the lander onto the comet.

Don't forget the asteroid 21 Laetitia flyby in 2010. At the time, it will be the largest asteroid visited, 100 km (Dawn will arrive at Vesta in 2011).
21 Laetitia will also be the first M-type asteroid (M meaning metallic) visited by a spacecraft. However, it looks like that it may be similar to C-type (carbonaceous, like 253 Mathilde) asteroids instead. In fact, the metallicity of M-type asteroids has been questioned for some time (but there are still metallic asteroids, however).

So we will have four deep space probes sending back data from 2011-2015:
2011-2012: Messenger in orbit around Mercury (Mercury data stream actually starts in 2008) 2011-2014: Dawn orbits Vesta and Ceres 2014-2015: Rosetta orbits 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (with data from two asteroids met in transit) 2015: New Horizons sweeps past Pluto Definitely a busy half decade.
