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. ![]() The landing itself should occur around November 11th. We'll keep you informed ![]() |

ESA has woken up & (goodish) news is trickling out on Twitter. "Today is critical" stands out to me.
@Philae_MUPUS: [their instrument(s) confirm the 3 bounce data] Good morning #cometlanding! Short status update: we believe that Philae bounced (possibly 3 times) but sits safely on the comet now. we need images and radio link to learn more. several Philae instruments got nice data (Cosac, Concert, Ptolemy, RoMap, Rolis) #cometlanding. Will tweet news as they come in. Stay tuned. #cometlanding @chrislintott: Stable signal from @Philae2014, images from ÇIVA received and some broad smiles around ESOC. Not anchored to surface #CometLanding @RosettaSD2: Unfortunately no drilling today: we first need to understand where we landed and how we landed. Today is critical @Philae2014 @ESA_Rosetta Oh, & if you want to sample my mix of science geekery, lefty US politics, & weirdness, you can try @stevelussier. I end up tweeting a lot of UMSF links/credits at moments like this. ![]() |
