Hola amigos : A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG., la Agencia Espacial NASA, nos informa lo que pasó después de la gran hazaña de la Misión Rosetta al colocar la sonda: Philae sobre el cometa: Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, un prodigio de la tecnología espacial, fue un trabajo de la Agencia Europea del Espacio ESA.
Welcome to a Comet, from Lander on Surface
The Philae lander of the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission is safely on
the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, as these first two images from
the lander's CIVA camera confirm. One of the lander’s three feet can be seen in
the foreground. The view is a two-image mosaic taken on Nov. 12, 2014.
The lander separated from the orbiter at 09:03 UTC (1:03 a.m. PST) for touch
down on comet 67P seven hours later.
Rosetta and Philae had been riding through space together for more than 10
years. Philae is the first probe to achieve soft landing on a comet, and Rosetta
is the first to rendezvous with a comet and follow it around the sun. The
information collected by Philae at one location on the surface will complement
that collected by the Rosetta orbiter for the entire comet.
Rosetta is a European Space Agency mission with contributions from its member
states and NASA. Rosetta's Philae lander is provided by a consortium led by the
German Aerospace Center, Cologne; Max Planck Institute for Solar System
Research, Gottingen; French National Space Agency, Paris; and the Italian Space
Agency, Rome. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California
Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the U.S. participation in the Rosetta
mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Rosetta carries
three NASA instruments in its 21-instrument payload.
