The timeline for Rosetta's speedy swingby of Mars on 25 February includes a series of slew manoeuvres, an occultation and signal blackout, an eclipse and some excellent opportunities for scientific observations.
Rosetta's Mars swingby kicks off today with a series of complex slew manoeuvres to enable instrument calibration. The spacecraft has been correctly lined up on the proper trajectory since a series of engine firings in the past several weeks.
Rosetta is expected to pass the Red Planet at 250 km altitude and 36 191 km/hour with respect to Mars at closest approach. The swingby should reduce Rosetta's velocity with respect to the Sun by 7887 km/hour, and the spacecraft should depart Mars travelling at 78 779 km/hour relative to the Sun.

23 February
17:32 First of a series of slew manoeuvres to perform instrument calibrations
19:30 Flight Control Team in ESOC's Main Control Room (MCR) around the clock
24 February
View from Earth: Rosetta passing Mars
~14:00 Webcam in MCR switched on (access via ESA portal)
18:35 Additional slew manoeuvres to perform Mars observations with onboard instruments
22:30 End of observations until after Mars swingby
25 February
02:15 -- All payload instruments switched off; CIVA camera (onboard lander) remains in operation and scheduled to take images
-- Loss of telemetry; S-band carrier signal remains
03:13 -- Occultation starts; Rosetta behind Mars
-- Loss of S-band signal; no communication with spacecraft
03:15 -- Closest approach to Mars (250 km)
-- Start of eclipse; no visibility for camera; no sunlight on solar panels
03:28 -- End of occultation; S-band carrier signal back
-- Receipt of S-band carrier signal provides initial technical confirmation of swingby success
03:40 End of eclipse; sunrise above Mars
03:50 Start of Phobos and Mars tracking with additional scientific observations
03:52 -- Acquisition of telemetry (radio signal & data); full technical confirmation of swingby success
-- Downloading of data and images begins
After 13:00 Images to be available on ESA portal
New Norcia: ESA's first 35m deep-space station
ESA/NASA interagency cooperation supports Rosetta
Increased ground tracking support has been scheduled throughout the swingby period.
In addition to ESA's 35m deep-space station at New Norcia, NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) stations at Goldstone, Canberra and Madrid will participate.
The two agencies often work together and regularly share tracking station resources.
