Five candidate sites for Philae's landing
Five candidate sites for Philae's landing
From the first 10 possible landing sites, A to H, the lander team finally chose five candidates on the comet, which consists of a smaller lobe, a larger lobe and a narrow, outgassing ‘neck’ connecting them together. Three of the possible landing sites (B, I and J) are located on the lower section of the comet and the remaining two (A and C) are found on the larger part of the cometary body.
