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 ![]() |

two small points:
during the 2hr bounce, philae surely would have been tumbling, fast or slow, so however bad the current position turns out to be, it could have been far worse. and a question: might the sun glint visibly (to rosetta) off philae's shiny surfaces, against the black surface? |
