That shady area has cut down the probe's potential for power, and severely limited the amount of work it can get done on the comet. It's unclear how long Philae will last under the shadowy ...

After traveling 6.5 billion kilometers from home, the spacecraft Rosetta was ready to drop our lander Philae onto the surface of comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Arriving at my workstation at th ...

Philae descent onto comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is shown as seen by ROLIS. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the July 31, 2015 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by S.

Rosetta launched on an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana and spent the next decade chasing after Comet 67P. When it arrived in 2014, Rosetta dropped a small lander called Philae onto the comet.

This animation of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko uses a three-dimensional digital model of the comet nucleus, which was produced by the DLR Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin using stereo ...

The lander, named Philae, will remain on the comet after the mission ends, but, says ESA’s Matt Taylor, no one knows how long the machine will survive. Rosetta, the first spacecraft propelled ...

The mission consisted of the Rosetta orbiter and the Philae lander. The probes were launched on 2 March 2004, travelled 6.4 billion kilometres in 10 years and, with the help of a few planet swing-bys, ...

The Rosetta spacecraft's camera captured the Philae lander wedged into a dark ditch on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. Carney: Canada’s Counter Tariffs to Inflict ‘Maximum Pain’ on the U.S.
