I think I heard it mentioned during the press conference today, (I can't find it now), about Rosetta itself possibly landing eventually, similar to what NEAR did at the end of the main mission at Eros? Since it's not like there's anywhere else to go with the remaining delta-v left by the end of 2015, and sunlight levels and activity starting to drop after perihelion, and the low gravity makes the difference between orbiting and 'landing' trivial. The whole thing would weigh a kilo or two, right?
Obviously there's a few more pressing concerns right now, but it's something to eventually think about. |

Speaking of new releases, the next block of data, corresponding to "Escort Phase 1", from 2014-11-19 to 2015-03-10, was to be delivered by all instrument teams to ESA by 2015-09-10 (19 days ago). If I recall correctly, for these releases, ESA tries to get the data into PSA within a week of receipt. I check PSA daily, and haven't seen anything added for this mission since the Pre-Landing block GIADA release on the 8th. Has anyone heard anything about when ESA might get the data published, or if they've even received it yet?
