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 -------------------- |

Yes - remarkable that the command worked to turn on CONSERT, so Philae can receive as well. As the report mentions, it's unclear why this communication worked and some others didn't. I wonder how the successes and misses map out with Rosetta's latitude, and "hour angle" of both Rosetta and the Sun? Nice that they had a good signal over 12 minutes too.

A 12 minute continuous communication should be able to pinpoint Philae's exact location. Right ? Next we need new pictures. |
