Bloggers and social media users – invitation to the commissioning of the Rosetta lander Philae in Cologne on 28 March
Following the successful awakening from hibernation of the Rosetta spacecraft, monitored by the European Space Operations Centre on 20 January 2014, engineers at DLR will re-activate the Philae lander on 28 March 2014. In November 2014, Philae – then at a distance of about 800 million kilometres from Earth – will descend to the comet's surface and use its 10 instruments to perform measurements and investigations.
The commissioning of Philae can be followed via a live stream on Friday, 28 March 2014 between 14:00 and 16:00 CET. However, bloggers and social media users will have the opportunity to follow the event live on location at the DLR site in Cologne.
