Which will occur in cold object was speeding towards the nearest point from the sun for three weeks comet 67p / Churyumov- Gerasimenko, cut off from the outside world on the surface of the Lander Philae, 13 August, the rare elephants so that they can get up and running again soon This will be the "lowest corridor" 67p influence how close range to get a look.
Washing machine-sized probe back before the course. He is a wealth of information for more than two days after the 10 science instruments on November 12, which is collected on the surface with the comet 67p painful double bounce landing, survived...
As a result of unexpectedly coming to rest in a shady place - the primary battery elephants died and went to nap while the work of the inquiry commission. (The second elephant in rechargeable battery, and it can be powered by the sun spot where the original plan that the Commission had to act.) Landing
Elephants would call home on June 13, and the comet closer and closer to the Sun 67p high solar radiation levels are available when apparently returned to the spirit of the encounter: a nutrition it took much longer than planned, however, did not occur until the end.
But despite the best efforts of elephants in the world approach the investigation, spotty. Earlier this month, as well as any company Radiowave (CONSERT) of the comet's nucleus sounding post with his experience could be handed to some new information, but they were not able to communicate from July 9 to investigate.
That's right, what's going on, is not clear. One possibility elephant moved from the position on July 9, and change the direction of the antenna, and it allowed her mother Lander (Philae to the ground and relays the information from the island revolves around 67p) to a Rosetta has to interact with.
, Ian Wright, the principal investigator of the Open University in the UK - "Going off planes, and only God knows why - when you see what is happening on the surface of the comet to move around a little bit, you do not have to take out that much of the land in the vicinity of" 67p Stable isotope ratios of molecules on which Ptolemy handed tool.
Two examples of the European Space Agency and one of the officers handed the transmitter may not be working properly. The program has been and 220 pounds (100 kg) spacecraft to switch back and forth between the two stations. Functional used exclusively for elephant is trying to get one of the team now.
"They do it at irregular intervals, and sometimes surprising, so even if you send us information yet, perhaps because of the elephant," the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Project Manager Stefan handed Ulamec, said in a statement last week. "Several times, and we were afraid that the investigation outside - but it frequently has taught us otherwise."
Mission team members will continue to try to connect to the elephant, but they are the next closest to the solar system as a result of a Rosetta 67p doing everything in his power to change the document will be busy making the investigation.
On August 13, the comet 1.24 astronomical units from the Sun (AU) come in. Elephants away from our star 67p in November fell about 3 AU, and it was. (1 AU is the distance from the Sun is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers).
Law "is designed to achieve the aim of adapting the receipt of the path of science, and we are just beginning to receive the sun's rays, so as to explore a comet in the area, and dark Nicholas Altobelli spent years later, on July 24 from the South to offer airlines a certain address , told Space.com via email, "a Rosetta project scientist.
"Rational seeking to achieve the objectives of the basic science, and regular contact with the probe would go back to the latitude where it may be possible." He also said
Right Philae will not remain silent forever have a hunch. Rasheed is out of alignment with flat-handed knock After all, a revolution in the correct orientation can blast the same ease.
"As a complete surprise, and I think that will be back in touch at some point," Wow, we did not expect to see that to be consistent, "and it will be," Wright told Space.com. "That's a personal feeling on this matter, but it means a formal or official position."
