Got the info from a Radio that CNES get a 2mn contact with Philae last nigth and 40 second of data.
Please take this info with due precautions waiting for confirmation before opening a new topic. http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/en-direct/a...-spatiales.html -------------------- |

Right lattitude has to be really important as well. Since Philae can currently only communicate when it gets sunlight i would assume that the optimal position for getting a long communication window would be between the sun and the comet and at the lattitude of the lander... Btw, according to malmers page Rosetta is now at 170km and still in the terminator plane.
