Scientific paper

The International Rosetta Mission's main goal is a rendezvous with comet 46P/Wirtanen, but it is also intended to study two asteroids during close flybys on route to the comet. Rosetta will study the nucleus of comet Wirtanen and its environment in great detail for a period of nearly two years, the near-nucleus phase starting at a heliocentric distance of about 3.25 AU, from the onset of activity through to perihelion, close to 1 AU. On its long journey to the comet, the spacecraft will pass close to the asteroids Mimistrobell and Siwa or Rodari.
