Here is the NAVCAM picture from the 22nd [ link to www.esa.int] All the instruments on Rosetta, like NAVCAM, are competing with each other for electrical power and bandwidth to send their data back to ESA. Rosetta has a power budget of around 800 watts to power everything on board, that's not enough to power a hairdryer. Communication rates back to ESA vary between 10 Kbit/s and 22 Kbit/s , but communication is often not possible. If you started using the internet in the late 90s that is around the same speed as your dial up modem used to be. [ link to www.esa.int] K
