The document outlines the timeline and key events for the Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko in late 2014 and early 2015. In October 2014, the spacecraft will observe the comet from a distance of 10km and select a landing site. In November, it will land on the comet and send back high resolution images and panoramic photos from the surface. It will then escort the comet as it approaches the Sun in August 2015, studying it from close proximity.
