Hogge Wild posted:Squeeze! squeeze! squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me; and I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-laborers' hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules. Such an abounding, affectionate, friendly, loving feeling did this avocation beget; that at last I was continually squeezing their hands, and looking up into their eyes sentimentally; as much as to say,- Oh! my dear fellow beings, why should we longer cherish any social acerbities, or know the slightest ill-humor or envy! Come; let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and sperm of kindness.

so basically they think it landed, bounced off, spun around, and landed again, but the lander isn't in contact with Rosetta until it does more maneuvering over the next few hours

quote:"We are extremely happy," he said. "To get the signal it had touched the surface was a major achievement -- it was quite extraordinary. Philae is already taking measurements, sniffing the comet." quote:"No one has ever gotten data like Rosetta has gotten. No one has ever been able to land on a comet the way Philae just did." quote:"Even without Philae, we still have Rosetta in orbit around a comet, giving the ability to watch it at close quarters. There will be a lot of science from this," This sounds like a PR rep telling an investor meeting the failure of their project isn't really a failure.

Not being anchored won't prevent Philae snapping some cool pictures will it? Because that's all 99.9% of people are actually bothered about.

Kilmers Elbow posted:Not being anchored won't prevent Philae snapping some cool pictures will it? Because that's all 99.9% of people are actually bothered about. I don't think Philae is considered lost yet, just to have bounced away from the nominal landing site. As long as it ended up upright it probably doesn't have to be anchored to do most of its tasks other than the drilling. And regarding Philae's share of the mission, I think it was something like 1/5th of the budget, so even if it's lost it doesn't detract too much from the Rosetta mission as a whole. Plus, the problems it had provide very useful information for future attempts.

From BBC News:quote:The robot probe Philae that made a historic comet landing is now stable after initially failing to attach to the surface, and is sending pictures. There's a live ESA TV report from Day 1 on a comet at 13:00 GMT / 14:00 CET today, so we should see some of the photos then.

Stephan Ulamec speaking. He’s Philae lander manager at the DLR German space centrequote:"We rebounded at 38 cm/s, probably about a kilometer. Then another small jump 3 cm/s for 7 minutes. Jean-Pierre Bibring: He is the principal investigator responsible for the CIVA camera that has been taking selfies of Rosetta and the comet. quote:"We are almost vertical, with one foot in "open air" (of course there is no air), two feet on the ground."
