The Rosetta probe has woken up ...

Refresh the page - that worked for me.

I closed and opened a new window even

Meanwhile they're getting 'old' telemetry data. But I imagine they're too busy working to talk any more

Go Philae!

They've been pronouncing it Fee-Lay. I have the sudden urge to have gumbo for lunch.

Just a bunch of people standing around talking. There is no narrator at the moment. But you should at least hear the buzz of the crowd.

The NASA lady just said it should land in about 30 minutes and we'll see the results about 30 minutes after that. I think that's about .15 parsecs.

Or a little over 3 AUs.

Maybe try one of the other sites linked earlier. Or a reboot. All those websites are using Flash player to display the video, so you can see if you have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and update that too.

Those people look worried. I hope that's just because they are German.

Does it start beaming a signal as soon as it lands or does it have to check its's till in one piece first? Also, does it beam signals up to the mother ship and from there to us or does it transmit direct? And what if it's on the far side of the comet? Will there be a six hour period of silence? And sorry to get really basic, but how the heck do we pick up a reedy little radio signal from 30 light minutes away anyway (300 million miles or so?)?

Touchdown!

 

[OCaptain]

It just landed!! Well done!

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Touchdown!

 

[Soapy Sam]

Whoop de do!

 

[OCaptain]

This is such a crazy thing that we're able to do at all!!

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Now they all look concerned again. Joshua, what are you doing?

 

[pgwenthold]

They are cheering like it landed (suddenly sound returned)

I want to be the first to say..


Pictures or it didn't happen...

Somebody accidentally pushed the self destruct button.

Looks like they did it! Fantastic!

 

[Alphaba]

"We are on the comet"

What a a statement!

 

[Wolrab]

Awesome! Thank you ESA.

They would never have lived down screwing up a dive-bombing maneuver.
