TIM FURNISS /SPACEFLIGHT CORRESPONDENTThe shadow of the Columbia shuttle disaster still hangs over manned spaceflightUnless China launches another astronaut earlier than expected, 2004 will be the quietest year in manned spaceflight since 1986.

The European Space Agency s ESA Rosetta comet probe is set for a late February launch on an Ariane 5G Plus booster from Kourou, French Guiana. Rosetta, which was delayed from January 2003 after the ECA launch failure, will be sent to a new destination, the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, with a rendezvous set for 2014.NASA s Mercury Surface Space Environment Geochemistry and Ranging Messenger craft will be launched by a Delta II Heavy in May. Messenger will be only the second craft to explore Mercury, after Mariner 10 in 1973-4, and will be the firs nike air force t to orbit the solar system s air max 1 innermost planet.NASA also hopes that technical problems on the Gravity Probe B spacecraft, which have delayed the probe s launch seven times since April 2003, will be adidas samba solved.
