The results obtained in the frame of the ESA study on 'Autonomous Advanced Navigation Techniques', part of the Technology and Research Program of ESA, are presented. Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) concepts applicable to the near comet phases of the Rosetta mission are investigated and preliminary performance results described. The main points discussed concern: the attitude and articulation control system design for a multibody spacecraft; the elaboration of autonomous GNC concepts for the observation phase of the mission, including the investigation of collision detection and avoidance of debris; the investigation of new GNC concepts applicable to an autonomous landing on a comet; the control of the spacecraft dynamics at touch down. Recommendations and additional work to be performed are discussed.
