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: 4553 The landing itself should occur around November 11th. We'll keep you informed |

A new set of 2 Rosetta NavCam images was released this afternoon by the Rosetta team... (sorry, again, no OSIRIS images).
This NavCam image is a very interesting one : it shows the backup "C" landing ellipse (see the superimposed yellow ellipse I draw on the left-hand side of the image)... Wow ! Look carefully at it : its the only "safe" place around, among truly chaotic terrain ! What a GREAT mission indeed |
