If all <- - Easy AdSense Pro V7.30!> world now knows that the Rosetta probe is in orbit around a comet and the Philae module is placed above, here are 4 amazing facts that you may not know.
Even people who are not passionate about space exploration now know that Rosetta orbits the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko and the Philae module is placed above on November 12. But do you know these 4 amazing facts?
1. All media have spoken and still speak of the Rosetta mission. What you should know is that this mission was approved in 1993 and that the probe was launched in March 2004 by an Ariane 5G + rocket. Given that the pitcher could not propel the probe directly into the orbit of the comet, it used the gravity of the Earth and Mars to propel 6.4 billion kilometers from Earth during a journey which lasted 10 years.
2. Kept in hibernation for 31 months, systems and subsystems Rosetta is powered entirely by solar energy. Hibernation was primarily designed to save energy. The consideration of this all is that solar Philae is currently asleep unable to receive enough sunlight.
3. Everyone talks about the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko. You should know that this comet was discovered by Klim Churyumov Ivanovych from the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Kiev. In 1969, examining a photograph of what was supposed to be the comet Comas Solá, he discovered this comet.
4. While we often see only the control center for the Rosetta mission, we must know that about 2000 people worked in any way in this mission, design landing Philae, passing the development, manufacture, launch, etc. To this, it will still add all the scientists who will be looking at all the results that have been or will be sent again.
The Rosetta mission, therefore, is a scientific space mission, but also a human adventure.
