Everything is almost back to normal for Rosetta following a fright when passing near tchouri.
On Saturday, the European probe Rosetta conducted a close flyby Churyumov-Gerasimenko in . During the transition to 14 kilometers from the surface tchouri the star sensor allows the probe to move suddenly began to malfunction.
The situation has even become critical when its antenna has not been pointed toward Earth, which significantly degraded communications. The probe is then placed in a safety mode during a Sunday moment. Since then, the probe sent a message on Twitter saying, “Thank you for your kind messages. I feel much better and hopefully resume my normal activities soon. “
In fact, over the comet approaches the Sun, the more she rejects gas and dust. It is these debris that disrupted Rosetta’s navigation instruments. “Probe systems are disrupted by debris from the comet, it takes to the stars,” says ESA.
Although Rosetta is actually a fear, the good news is that the probe is now well, so that it was only a minor scare.
