Show other versions (1)

The Rosetta mission was successfully launched on March 2nd, 2004 for a rendezvous with the short period comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014. The new baseline mission foresees also a double fly-by with asteroids 21 Lutetia and 2867 Steins, on the way towards the primary target. This volume collec...
