Landing site A
Landing site A
Landing site A is located in an interesting region on the larger comet lobe, which allows a view of the smaller comet lobe. The narrow area between these two parts is probably already active as the comet begins its journey closer to the Sun. Images with increasing resolution will now allow more detailed investigations to assess the risks posed by small depressions and slopes on this landing site. The illumination conditions also need to be analysed in more detail. This image was acquired by the OSIRIS camera on Rosetta from a distance of 100 kilometres on 16 August 2014. The resolution is approximately 1.85 metres per pixel.
