Space/Science » in reply to Stardust to venture on a similar mission.

The downside of this....

... is that the potential observations of opportunity of Annefrank for later this year seem likely to be minimal at best. While one appreciates that Stardust is not primarily a flyby science craft/more a sample return bus with a few instruments bolted on (it doesn't even have an independent science image... it uses a beefed up star tracker instead), these observations were organisationally feasible & would have a reasonable level of scientific utility.
