Rosetta team adopts new approach strategy
Because of the problems Rosetta experienced during its last close fly-by of Comet 67P/C-G the engineering team has worked out a new approach strategy for future observations.
Essentially, they are postponing any close fly-bys for the near future. Instead, they will observe from farther away, while reassessing the situation and planing for later opportunities.
Meanwhile, on April 12 the next opportunity to listen for Philae begins.
