Its mission is to rendezvous with, and land on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in November 2014. <br>The probe is named after the Rosetta Stone, an incomplete stela of black basalt discovered in 1799 incised with the same text in three scripts: Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Egyptian Demotic and Greek. The Stone provided the key to deciphering hieroglyphs and the history of ancient Egypt. The Rosetta space mission has a similar purpose: deciphering other stones (asteroids) and the history of the solar system. <br>At the end of the reporting period (DOY 006) Rosetta was at 360 million km from the Earth (2.40 AU; one-way signal travel time was 20m 00 s). The distance to Sun was 262 million Km (1.75 AU). <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://sci.esa.int/jump.cfm?oid=38558 " target="blank">sci.esa.int/jump.cfm?oid=38558 </a> <br> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
