The Rosetta spacecraft is still orbiting comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko while it now approaches the Sun. 

Six months ago Rosetta made history by delivering its Philae lander onto a comet’s surface - something no other space mission has done before.

The film covers the mission’s highlights so far: from its launch in 2004; its journey across the solar system and waking up after deep space hibernation ten years later, its arrival at  the selection of a landing site and Philae’s unexpected multiple landings on the comet.

The film also reviews what we have learnt about the comet to this point.
