The Rosetta probe has finished its 10 year journey to comet 67P/C-G and will spend the next few months attempting to collect as much data as possible in the first long term mission to accompany a comet.
This site has a great diagram of the Rosetta mission, showing the probe pushing out almost to Jupiter's orbit before its rendezvous with the comet.
An abandoned satellite is now under the control of a volunteer group of scientists and engineers operating out of an abandoned McDonalds.
Just a few more steps out from our little planet towards the final frontier.
