The new scenario of the Rosetta mission to comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko (launch on February 2004), includes as baseline the fly-by of one or two asteroids. Several asteroids are now possible fly-by candidates (single or double) within the available resources. Other candidates whose fly-bys require a larger Δv can be also considered if the Rosetta interplanetary orbit insertion will cost less Δv.

All the up to date available information on the possible targets are discussed in this report.
