(2867) Steins getting closer   Steins approaching   5 September 2008   This animation is composed of images used for the optical navigation campaign as Rosetta followed (2867) Steins, refining its trajectory to close in on the asteroid. They were taken daily by Navigation Camera A between 25 August and 3 September.   The images have been adjusted so that the stars are of roughly the same brightness from day to day, although the exposure times decrease and Steins becomes brighter as Rosetta appoaches.      •  Rosetta Blog (http://webservices.esa.int/blog/blog/5/)  •  ESA's comet chaser (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Rosetta/index.html)  •  Space Operations & Situational Awareness (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Operations/index.html)  •  ESOC (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/ESOC/index.html) Related articles  •  Watch this space: Rosetta press conference live (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Rosetta/SEM15MO4KKF_0.html)  •  Rosetta press conference live stream (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Rosetta/SEMW4V0SAKF_0.html)  •  Rosetta Blog now live (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Rosetta/SEMP4DO4KKF_0.html)  •  Rosetta Steins fly-by timeline (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Rosetta/SEMUUBO4KKF_0.html)  •  Rosetta spacecraft meets asteroid Steins (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Rosetta/SEMM6L0SAKF_0.html) For the media  •  Media Press Kit (http://www.esa.int/esaSC/SEMJ09374OD_1_spk.html)  •  Rosetta factsheet (pdf) (http://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/rosetta/FactsheetRosetta.pdf) In depth  •  Rosetta in depth (http://sci.esa.int/rosetta) Related links  •  Astrium (http://www.astrium.eads.net/)  •  DLR Rosetta special (http://www.dlr.de/rosetta/)
