Software testing for Philae

Software testing for Philae
With an authentic model of comet lander Philae the engineers can rehearse the adversities that could arise, and that the software must solve autonomously – without support from the ground. Shortly before arriving at the destination, the final software will be sent to Philae. The comet lander has been travelling on board Rosetta since 2 March 2004.
