Adorable Animation Video Showing How Rosetta And Philae Investigate A Comet

MessageToEagle.com – This adorable and informative animation video shows how Rosetta and Philae are investigating a comet. It’s a must see! Rosetta tells us what she’s learned in her first year studying Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, and Philae wakes up from hibernation.



Rosetta was launched in 2004 and arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 6 August 2014.

It is the first mission in history to rendezvous with a comet, escort it as it orbits the Sun, and deploy a lander to its surface.

Rosetta is an ESA mission with contributions from its member states and NASA. Rosetta’s Philae lander is provided by a consortium led by DLR, MPS, CNES and ASI.
