    • Description

      On the day Europe's first deep space probe returns to Earth, ESA unveils Rosetta - its second mission to a comet.
      Scheduled for launch in 2003,Rosetta comprises an Orbiter, which will fly around the comet...and a lander, which will actually attach itself to the nucleus.
      Rosetta will travel for eight years to reach its target. It will swing twice around the Earth and once around Mars, using their gravity fields to catapult itself towards the comet - Wirtanen.
      Travelling through space at 130,000km per hour, Rosetta will chase the comet at close-range for two years.
      Ground controllers will switch on Rosetta's sensitive instruments, which will gather and send back information on the comet's size, the way it moves and the composition of its tail.
      Rosetta will then go into close orbit around the comet, mapping its surface from a distance of 10km. As the comet approaches the Sun it will warm up, releasing dust and vapour in its tail for analysis.
      The lander will then drop onto the comet's surface, gathering p
