SPACE-EUROPE-ASTRONOMY-COMET-SIGNAL
A handout photo released on November 13, 2014 by the European Space Agency, and captured on November 12 by the CIVA-P imaging system, shows a 360º view of the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko around the point of final touchdown, during Philae's descent. Superimposed on top of the image is a sketch of the Philae lander in the configuration the lander team currently believe it is in. This images was taken around the time of landing on November 12, when Rosetta was about 18 km from the centre of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (about 16 km from the surface). Europe's Rosetta spacecraft made contact with its robot craft Philae soon after the lander embarked on November 12 on a solo, seven-hour descent to a comet, ground controllers said. "Rosetta is receiving a signal from Philae," mission operations department head Paolo Ferri said at the European Space Agency (ESA) control centre in Darmstadt, Germany. Communications were re-established on schedule more than two hours after Philae set off at 0835 GMT for a 20-kilometre (12-mile) descent from the Rosetta orbiter, its home for the last decade.
