- Rosetta - Mission Status

Mission Status

• Deep Space Manoeuvre 3 executed in April 07
• Jupiter observation campaign completed in May 07
• NSHM 4 from June to Sept 07 was nominal
• PC6 activities conducted according to the plan
  (see next slide)
• Very successful Earth Swing-by phase
• Spacecraft on track for Steins Fly-by in
  September 2008 (05/09/08 ca. 1830 UTC)
• Spacecraft status is nominal

3
Payload Status

• Payload Check-out 6 (PC6) (September
  07)
• Planning process much simpler and smoother than
  PC4
• Execution was still affected by many problems
  thus indicating immature payload operations (no
  real progress since Mars Swing-by)
• COSIMA 680 error events
• OSIRIS 160 error events cancellation of ops
• ALICE unexpected service 19 enabled status
• GIADA wrong dump TC
• RPC wrong seq.
• MIDAS SW problem and subsequent cancellation of
  ops
• Philae CIVA SW upload failed multiple times

Status of all payload anomaly reports concerning
Philae to be given by Philae Project

SWT Discussion of PC11

Current Schedule PC10 ESB3 PC11
PC12 Sep 09 Nov 09 Dec 09 May 10 RMOC
proposed to cancel PC11 and advance PC12 to
April. The decision is to be made at the 24th
SWT in spring 2008.

RSOC Relocation to ESAC

• RSOC has been relocated to the European Space
  Astromony Centre (ESAC)
• New RSOC servers at ESAC
• - Replacement servers used at ESTEC
• In Jan. 2008 the PI-RSOC interface (ORFA) will
  move to ESAC.
• RSOC IP numbers will change for PI teams.
  Interface tests will be done with PI teams.
• - Move of the archiving system 14-18 Jan.

8

• Mission proceeding according to the plan
• Spacecraft performance is nominal
• Work is required in the area of payload anomaly
  reports
• Given the intense schedule for the next three
  years, activities shall now focus on closing all
  commissioning issues (SOC document) and preparing
  the instruments for routine / off-line operations
