Philae landing on the nucleus of Comet 67P C-G Options

[Deepnet]

CONSERT Philae location from Kofman's AGU paper.

The press conference this morning mentioned new search images taken a few days ago that should be downlinked pretty soon. These are designed to show Philae in sunlight from a range of 20km.

Quick and dirty deconvolved first CIVA image. It looks that it will be possible to extract some nice
data from the full quality images.

And very quick and dirty anaglyph:

Very cool stuff!

This puts the orientation of the CIVA mosaic back to something close to the following:

It would be interesting to have the Rolis image on the pan.

Yes, that is consistent with the terrain model here: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-30524429 and here: http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/th...n_and_cliff.jpg

It's unclear how that model was built. Perhaps they are using unreleased CIVA images to constrain topography based on shadows and sun position.
I'm curious about the terrain further out. Don't know where that data comes from.

NASA has put up images from the press conference here.

Looks like some rocks are visible in the motion-blurred CIVA picture?

An attempt to process the first CIVA image:

Again, that was stated in the press conference to be an artist's conception. They don't know where they are yet so the terrain beyond the immediate cliffs has to be pure speculation.

Philae comet landing 'all a blur'
By Jonathan Amos Science correspondent, BBC News, San Francisco

Good idea. Do we know the direction the top of the image points to in terms of which side of Philae (or solar panel)? The answer can probably be interpreted from this document. Meanwhile, here is a guess we can consider.


Above image has north in the center.

High resolution version has south in the center. I can further suggest the green line in this diagram is pointing south.

Just playing with a little manual clean-up of the lens flare

Looks right to me. Really brings the entire site into perspective. Great work.

That lens flare is stray light caused by them bringing the infinity-focus lens into the field of view. Earlier post-landing ROLIS images were blurred because the ground was more than the expected 30 cm away from the lander -- some of it much further!
