Flight Director Paolo Ferri, speaking in the Rosetta control room a few moments ago:
"It's not a spacecraft, it's a rock. It's solid like a rock - it's incredible!"
For the rest of the night, things will be fairly quiet here.
The Rosetta team are expecting the next data download opportunity via NASA Goldstone starting at about 01:00 CEST, 6 Sep. Image and science data will start arriving about 02:00, and the science teams will work through to process the results. We'll log off now and plan to be back on for blog & web coverage starting at about 08:00 CEST, 6 September.
Thanks for the fantastic comments you've been posting! We've passed these along to the flight control team, and your support and enthusiasm have really helped tonight! -- Daniel

Félicitations à toute l'équipe ! Maintenant il va falloir dépouiller toutes les images et leur faire sortir ce qu'elles cachent derrière leurs pixels !

Dear Team,
I would like to congratulate all of you, who had been working, and will work in the future on this mission very hard. This is a great achievemnet. Only dedicated people can understand the real meaning of it. I do follow as much as possible your results, however unfortunately I do not belong to any space agency. I am just a curious person.
I will follow and wait for the final event - meet the C-G comet.
I wish all the best of you work.
With regards,
Tamas Szabo

Either your new countdown or mine is a minute out. I don't think it's mine.
