🛰️🌑We're gearing up for BepiColombo's sixth Mercury flyby, coming up this Wednesday! ℹ️Closest approach is 295 km at 06:59 CET We'll investigate Mercury's cold night side, north pole craters, and the vast northern plains 👇esa.int/Science_Explor…





Could hardly believe my own @Rosetta_OSIRIS eyes! Finally got this view of @Philae2014 on 2 Sept, 2.7km from #67P

THE SEARCH IS OVER! I’ve found @Philae2014!! ow.ly/wGPY303UgXG #CometLanding #PhilaeFound

So happy to have seen @Philae2014 again before my mission ends later this month...more about my #CometLanding soon!

Hello Earth! Can you hear me? #WakeUpPhilae

Thinking of the wonderful adventures I had with @Philae2014 at Comet #67P #GoodbyePhilae

How were you feeling at the end of @philae2014’s mission? Mission fans have shared their lasting impressions here: blogs.esa.int/10-years-since… If your nerves can take it, come back tomorrow for a last surprise or two… #CometLandingRelived 38/





“Many of the instruments have acquired what they wanted to. ROMAP acquired the magnetic field and there will be important data on whether the material is magnetised or not. Tomorrow three more instruments will be on. It’s really tremendous. We are at the limit of what humankind can do. – Jean-Pierre Bibring (Lead Lander Scientist, @IASorsay, 2014) The results of Philae’s first analysis were published the following year 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor… #CometLandingRelived 25/

“We hit the nominal landing site less than 100 metres from the predicted point” – Stephan Ulamec (@DLR_en Philae Lander Manager, 2014) “Flight dynamics – these guys are the heroes of this mission. This is unbelievable accuracy. We can show you where the first touchdown point was, but we have a hard time to find the lander [now]. Holger Sierks (OSIRIS Principal Investigator, @MPSGoettingen, 2014) #CometLandingRelived 21/

Welcome to a comet! First CIVA images confirm @Philae2014 is on surface of #67P! ow.ly/EczwI #CometLanding

Welcome back to our #CometLandingRelived coverage and to @philae2014’s first day on a comet. It’s been confirmed we landed three times, and the first science results are already in… esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… #CometLandingRelived 19/
