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. Sequence_ATTERRISSAGE10_UMSF.pdf ( 263.81K ) Number of downloads: 4544 The landing itself should occur around November 11th. We'll keep you informed |

That idea of jets forming where two or more broad cones of emission meet, channeling dust into sheets (two cones) or collimated jets (three cones) was referred to earlier in our discussions and originated with Jean Crifo 20 years ago (Icarus, 1995, v. 116, pp. 77-112).

Thanks for the reminder, Phil. All very easy to visualize now.
