Fernando EDIT: Apologies for the confusion, an unfortunate combination of wishing for good news and being "Pluto stoned". This clip is from July 3 as dshaffer correctly points out (thank you). |

QUOTE (nogal @ Jul 15 2015, 01:20 PM)  A new 30 seconds update from DLR. Another attempt to contact Philae and send commands to turn on CONSERT will be made on Sunday. Tweeter Link Fernando I believe this is an old report - dated July 3. |

Latest update. Likely problems with the transmitters on Philae, a software patch has been sent to Rosetta to transmit to Philae. |

New status update from the blog with plenty of new details. Mostly about Philae so I've posted here.
http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2015/07/20/ro...-status-update/ Tldr version; no new contacts. Philae is designed to cycle between transmitters, one may be damaged (one receiver too) hence contact problems. They sent a signal to Philae to make it only use the working components. Philae's orientation may be changing, altering visibility cones. Rosetta had another star tracker issue and has had to pull away a little. They will try to activate a science program using only the non-moving instruments. |

Is this true there was a contact near the end of August?

ESA's Philae Lander System Engineer, Laurence O'Rourke was unequivocal in Dublin last night (Monday): the last contact was July 9th., but they are not giving up.
O'Rourke gave what was easily the best public lecture I have seen on Rosetta. Crammed full of details. Combined with the extraordinary blog a week ago last Friday (Understanding Philae's Wakeup), it is hard to fault ESA (and DLR staff) openess when it comes to things they directly control. O'Rourke's talk was organised by a local astronomy club here, who usually offer mail-order DVD's of the event several weeks later: Astronomy Ireland I am not associated with the group and I offer the link only for those who might be interested. |

As Rosetta moves closer to 67P in the coming weeks, there's some hope to hear from Philae again.

Latest Philae2014 Twitter video update is from Nov 9 and it is mentioned that Rosetta is closing in faster than expected and now within 200km range. So we are entering the possible period of hearing from Philae, until the comet gets too far from the sun in January.

Niagara Falls... slowly I turned, step by step... inch by inch...
But seriously, Philae has returned an amazing amount of science despite the trials and tribulations of her "arrival event" (see the post uptopic about the latest news on The Dynamic Duo). So once Rosetta's signal gets strong enough Philae may wake up. --Bill -------------------- |

The Finnish Meteorological Institute is reporting here locally that packets were received from Philae last night.

Yeah, they have a "unique" way of informing things about Philae / Rosetta.
But they do have science instruments there, and are within the official ESA loop. The sources are Walter Schmidt and Minna Palmroth at FMI. -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

Well unique in that ESA don't inform anyone and wait for others to get fed up and leak it...
I'm skeptical, but on the other hand I'd be surprised if FMI are making it up, as said above they are involved in this and other ESA projects. Edit; this is the article in question, from the Finnish state broadcaster YLE, http://yle.fi/uutiset/komeetalle_laskeutun...sestaan/8547143 You'll need to google translate it. |

9 hours ago, Minna Palmroth tweeted:
QUOTE Philaeen saatiin juuri yhteys 7 kuukauden hiljaisuuden jälkeen! #avaruus @yletiede @Tiedetuubi https://twitter.com/MinnaPalmroth/status/679219830713688064which means, as best I can translate it without knowing the language, something like 'Just received contact with Philae after 7 months of silence!' Then someone corrected her to 5 months. Then 7 hours ago, she tweeted: QUOTE Komeetalle laskeutuneen aluksen jouluyllätys: heräsi yllättäen horroksestaan |http://yle.fi/uutiset/8547143 https://twitter.com/MinnaPalmroth/status/679249152153358336which means something like 'Comet lander's Christmas surprise: woke up suddenly from its dormancy'. Then 15 minutes ago, she tweeted: QUOTE Hieno kaveri #Philae, vähän kuin #suomalainen - ei pahemmin pidä meteliä itsestään #avaruus http://yle.fi/uutiset/komeetalle_laskeutun...sestaan/8547143 https://twitter.com/MinnaPalmroth/status/679342421659017216which means something like "A great guy #Philae, a bit like #Finland - it doesn't shout about itself #space" Edit: Added other tweets |
