    When the Philae lander detached from the Rosetta spacecraft in 2014 to perform the first-ever soft landing on a comet, its harpoons failed to fire. Instead of sticking to the surface, Philae bounced wildly across the comet's low-gravity landscape before finally wedging itself sideways into a dark, rocky crack.

  2. Third, Facebook's 2014 summary video, also featuring the scene in the ESOC MCR when #Philae touched down on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 12 November that year. There is also a short animation showing the landing.

    As with the Google video, this comes at the end of the sequence, underlining the event as one of the major global highlights of that year.

  3. Second & also from Google, the 2014 edition of their annual Year in Search video.

    The full thing is 1m32s & pride of place is given to #Rosetta & #Philae at the end, featuring part of our science fiction film about mission, "Ambition", the scenes in the ESOC Main Control Room in Darmstadt on 12 November, & a voice-over from NASA's Jim Green.

  4. #OTD ten years ago, the end-of-2014 summaries from several of the big social media providers featured the history-making first landing on a comet by the ESA/DLR/CNES/ASI #Philae spacecraft, part of ESA's iconic #Rosetta mission.

    It's not often that you make that kind of global impact with a space mission & it's something I remain deeply proud & privileged to have been a part of.

    Here's the first, the #GoogleDoodle:

  5. Ten years ago OTD the lander #Philae, dropped by #Rosetta, landed on the nucleus of the #comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko: what happened and was learned is described in the paper royalsocietypublishing.org/doi while the papers aanda.org/articles/aa/full_htm and arxiv.org/abs/1701.00685 describe the lander's adventures in more detail. Also nice: an interpolated ROLIS descent movie at youtube.com/watch?v=wJOh9DL6yB, pics from Cologne on landing day in diary4dan.wordpress.com/2014/1 and a 9-min. ESA video at youtube.com/watch?v=QzVzcL3vqb

  6. 🎂 Le 12 novembre 2014, #Philae devenait le premier objet à atterrir sur une comète. L’atterrissage ne s’étant pas complètement passé comme prévu, Philae avait malheureusement cessé d’émettre après 56 h de fonctionnement.
    Une des plus grandes réussites du spatial européen !

    How we made history by landing on a comet




    Video: 00:09:09

    On 12 November 2014, after a ten-year journey through the Solar System and over 500 million kilometres from home, Rosetta’s lander Philae made space exploration history by touching down on a comet for the first time. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of this extraordinary feat, we celebrate by taking a look back over the mission's highlights.

    Rosetta was an ESA mission with contributions from its Member States and NASA. It studied Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for over two years, including delivering lander Philae to the comet’s surface. Philae was provided by a consortium led by DLR, MPS, CNES and ASI.

    ✧ Philae temple complex ✧

    The Philae temple complex is an island-based temple complex in the reservoir of the Aswan Low Dam, downstream of the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser in Egypt. Until the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia, the temple complex was located on Philae Island, near the expansive First Cataract of the Nil...

    El vídeo lo componen imágenes tomadas por Rosetta, así que nada de imágenes creadas por ordenador. Son imágenes reales de un mundo real por muy alienígena que aparezca a nuestros ojos. Y es que, mientras no seamos capaces de ir nosotros mismos, las sondas que enviamos a recorrer el sistema solar y a visitar otros mundos nos permiten, de hecho, explorar el universo que existe más allá de nuestros sentidos.

  12. OTD in 2007 at 02:15 GMT, Rosetta passed just 250 km from the surface of Mars.

    Rosetta’s Philae lander took this image 4 minutes before closest approach, at a distance of 1000 km. It captures one of Rosetta’s 14 m-long solar wings, set against the northern hemisphere of Mars, where details in the Mawrth Vallis region can be seen.

  13. Today, 8 years ago, Philae landed on comet 67P. During that time I was part of the SESAME / DIM team (during my master studies in Göttingen, Germany). I did some lab work / calibration with the flight spare unit, data analysis and simulations.

    Here you see happy 24-year-old me in the Philae lander center in Cologne. What a time!

  14. Il 12 novembre del 2014 il lander Philae, portato da #Rosetta su in cielo fino alla #cometa #67PChuryumovGerasimenko, atterrava sulla sua superficie.
