Stardust successfully flew past asteroid Annefrank, taking more than 70
images and testing the operations to be used during the primary encounter
at Comet Wild 2 in about 14 months. The testing was an overwhelming success
Details on the encounter are available here:

The spacecraft is operating in good health. The flight team had
seven periods of radio contact with it through the antennas of the Deep
Space Network.
