Philae localization from CONSERT/Rosetta measurement

摘要

On 12 November 2014 at 15:34 UTC, after a 7-h descent, the Philae lander made contact with the surface of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/CG) in the centre of the intended landing zone. Following the failure of its anchoring systems, it bounced and continued to fly ballistically. A couple of hours later, telemetry transmitted to Rosetta showed that Philae was stabilized on the surface and working properly although its precise and final location was and still is not known (Biele et al, 2015).
