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 ![]() |

my guess: if the situation is not survivable power-wise after the battery
is fully discharged, they will do whatever science they can do up to the point where the battery is about to discharge fully and then try something radical ie fire the harpoons or try to use the flywheel to rotate the lander. |
