The Rosetta lander’s touchdown on a comet
On November 12, the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft will deploy the Philae lander in the first ever attempt to land a probe on a comet.
Philae will complete a number of firsts: it will return the first images from the surface of a comet and use its instruments to conduct the first analysis of a comet's composition while on the surface.
Join AOSS to watch the presentation of the first panoramic images from Comet 67P! There will be bagels, coffee and hot cocoa!
Research Fellow Andre Bieler, who works on data analysis for one of Rosetta’s instruments, will give an overview of the mission.
