Rosetta caught up with the Steins asteroid, also known as Asteroid 2867, on Friday in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The probe came within 500 miles of the asteroid which turned out to be slightly larger than scientists expected.
The software switched off automatically, saidGerhard Schwehm, the agencys mission manager and head of solar systems science operations. The camera has some software limits, and well analyze why this happened later.
Another wide angle camera was able to take pictures and send them to the space center, Schwehm said.
Uwe Keller, the principal camera investigator, said despite the camera turning off about nine minutes before its closest approach, it switched back on again later and was now working well.
Craters of different ages were found on the surface of the gray-colored asteroid, showing a rich collisional history, Keller said.
According to measurements by the probe, the diamond-shaped asteroid turned out to be 3.1 miles in diameter, slightly larger than an earlier estimate of 3 miles.
The Rosetta craft was launched in March 2004 from French Guyana, and is now about 250 million miles from Earth.
Rita Schulz, a Rosetta project scientist, said data from asteroids and comets was particularly valuable because they are made of galactic matter that helped create the planets in our solar system.
Asteroids are a sort of memory, or the DNA, of the solar system, Schulz said.

BROADWATER may be a small town but it's got big bite when it comes to looking after its own.
After last month's horrific double fatality on the notorious corner near Broadwater Public School, parents and citizens have banded together to lobby government for action.
They want a speed camera at the northern end of town and flashing lights marking the entrance to the school.
Debbie Webster, whose home is beside the school, has seen more than her fair share of drama on the corner in her 11 years there.
One of the classic near misses was when one semi-trailer was forced to scrape between two other semis, one passing the other, heading in the opposite direction.
'We could hear the trailers banging into each other as they passed,' she said.
She's seen power poles wiped out, car after car spun out, a banana truck roll on to the school fence and more.
