    The first thing this made me think of was ESA's Rosetta mission with Philae being deployed to land on comet 67P.

  2. #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:

  4. 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.

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