For some, it feels like just yesterday; for others, it's like an entire era of comet research. Ten years ago, on 12 November 2014, the Philae lander made the first-ever landing on a comet in the ...

The lander has a limited battery life ... and severely limited the amount of work it can get done on the comet. It's unclear how long Philae will last under the shadowy conditions that will ...

Tuesday marks the tenth anniversary of a huge astronomical milestone: the first and only time we have landed on a comet. The Rosetta probe's lander Philae landed on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on ...

The mission consisted of the Rosetta orbiter and the Philae lander. The probes were launched on 2 March 2004, travelled 6.4 billion kilometres in 10 years and, with the help of a few planet swing-bys, ...

12. The aim is to drop its lander Philae at a location dubbed `Site J' on the 4-kilometre wide comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The maneuver will take about seven hours. But because the radio ...

Philae's historic landing on Comet 67P in 2014 provided crucial data on the comet's surface and internal composition, despite technical setbacks. The mission revealed organic molecules and temperature ...

Rosetta's Philae lander is provided by a consortium led by ... of the unusual bilobate structure the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet. It took the Rosetta spacecraft more than 10 years of flight ...

On 12 November 2014, after a 10-year journey through the solar system and over 500 million kilometers from home, Rosetta's lander Philae made space exploration history by touching down on a comet for ...

But thrusters that were meant to push the lander, called Philae, onto the surface, and harpoons that would have anchored it to the comet failed to deploy properly. Initial data from the spacecraft ...

The probe is known as the Philae lander and we gave the comet the lovely name 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It turns out, the comet speaks, or sings, as the scientists discovered. That's probably a ...

The European Space Agency released the first images of Philae's bumpy landing today. Orbiting spacecraft Rosetta captured the lander drifting across the surface of Comet 67P for half an hour until ...
