Regarding the Philae telemetry page:
while it is correct that the webmaster of that site mentioned that he should probably update it he did also mention that it is showing the latest data on twitter. The only parameters that are currently updated correctly for Philae are PSSH_C_SBat_CH as well as PSSH_C_SBat_DCH which are solar panel current and rechargable battery current. Most data is from the 13th but there are also a few measurments from the 14th. |

Interesting comment from Gaudon about the battery recharging, not seen that before. If true that's brilliant as that was previously mentioned as one of the possible failure points from the low temperatures.

They've been prepared to operate without the battery, directly with power from the solar panels.
But now there seems to be a chance, that the battery can be charged, and operated as initially planned. |

They are being so thorough in their presenting that I'm struggling to find anything to ask!
Archive should be here once it's done. http://www.esa.int/spaceinvideos/Keywords/...By%29/published |

I have at least one question Paolo.
How about MUPUS PEN (the hammering penetrator), are they going to run that again? They didn't list it in their risky instrument suite (they did mention MUPUS as one of the first experiments to be run, but then they were referring to the thermal sensors). Obviously you can't redeploy the penetrator, so I suppose it depends on how it lies. Edit: My questions aren't that important, but here is another one anyway. Perhaps a way too soon to speculate, but any chance they will try to move (hop) Philae when winter starts approaching again on its side of the comet hemisphere for an of chance of sampling yet another location? |

Looks like they're confident that they can turn Philae in the right direct to (eventually) drill the surface!
Also great preview of science results; carbon-rich materials cementing the ice grains, rather than the reverse. Papers getting published in a few weeks. |

They didn't take that many questions anyway. The most interesting part to me was probably what Explorer1 mentioned, although I suppose that's a long way off.

Looks like the next opportunity for contact with Philae will be on Friday.

Here is the revised Philae position from the article in Spaceflight Now .
