Rosetta made history by delivering the Philae lander to the surface of a comet. This film covers the exciting events at the Rosetta mission control room at the European Space Operations Centre at Darmstadt, in Germany, from the moment of touchdown on November 12th to Philae’s hibernation.
It shows the celebrations and explains the race against time to ensure that the lander’s science experiments were completed before its batteries died. It also covers the extraordinary three touchdowns, as imaged by the OSIRIS camera on the Rosetta orbiter, the discovery of organics and Philae’s hibernation.
It contains soundbites in English with: Andrea ACCOMAZZO, Rosetta Flight Director, ESA (A-roll and B-roll), Stephan ULAMEC, Philae Lander manager, DLR (A-roll and B-roll), Jean-Jacques DORDAIN, Director ESA (A-roll), James Green, Head of Planetary Science, NASA (A-roll and B-roll), David Parker, Director UK Space Agency (A-roll and B-roll), Klim Churyumov (A-roll).
