Touching down on67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko
The Rosetta spacecraft has been circling comet 67P since the beginning of August 2014. On board it is the Philae lander, which will land on the comet in November – a first in the history of spaceflight. The project managers for Philae give us an insight into how the lander will face this challenge and what sensors and experiments it carries.
