| PHILAE on #67P |
After more than 10 years travelling through space, PHILAE the spaceship that got its name from an island
on the river Nile, where it was found the obelisk which allowed to
decode the Rosetta Stone, has successfully descended on the surface of Comet #67P and grabbed to the rock with 3 harpons that anchored the lander securely to the surface.
PHILAE is full equipped with the latest technology in order to get
acquired measures at the surface. Existing jets and geysers will be
evaluated, real surface temperatures, gravity and a highly sophisticated
equipment will "read" and perform combustion and chemical analysis from
the 4.5 billion years old comet composition, sending afterwards its
results, through the solar and battery powered ' antennas, first to
Rosetta and from there to ESA, on Earth.
