Now, it's time to open a new section devoted to the landing of the Philae lander itself on the nucleus of Comet 67P C-G. Also to answer better the earlier post, http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&p=212943 and for your information, here is the quick summary (as a "pdf" file) of the events that are expected to occur during landing on the nucleus and after : it's the timeschedule on which we are working to set up our EPO event in Paris. Sequence_ATTERRISSAGE10_UMSF.pdf ( 263.81K ) Number of downloads: 4626 The landing itself should occur around November 11th. We'll keep you informed |

Thank you for the wonderful image in http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&p=213418 vikingmars! With a bit of cropping and resizing I was able to make quite a dramatic wallpaper for my computer.
After staring at it for many days I realized that I was having a hard time grasping the scale of what I was looking at. I've spent some time looking at the scale of the many followup photos and came to the conclusion that the boulders(?) in the rift/conjunction valley(?) must be around 2 to 5 meters. Is this in the ballpark? |
