How we made history by landing on a comet?
On 12 November 2014, after a ten-year journey through the Solar System and over 500 million kilometres from home, Rosetta’s lander Philae made space exploration history by touching down on a comet for the first time. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of this extraordinary feat, we celebrate by taking a look back over the mission’s highlights.
Rosetta was an ESA mission with contributions from its Member States and NASA. It studied Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for over two years, including delivering lander Philae to the comet’s surface. Philae was provided by a consortium led by DLR, MPS, CNES and ASI.

A great achievement by ESA – This is the mission that got me fascinated and interested in space exploration back in 3rd grade
Great! Thanks and best.

Are you unsure of it?
Other people might not, but I like the music you guys chose!
An incredible technical feat by the ESA, although so unfortunate the harpoons did not work as planned, cos' it shut down Philea's mission objectives far too early. I would really love to see a second mission, with improvements from what they have learnt with Rosetta-Philae.
Sensacional!!! Grato!!!
Il serait intéressant de voir l'évolution de la comète dans le temps…
Fantástico. Gracias.
