At 7:45 p.m. Thursday night, Philae has re-established contact with Rosetta for 20 minutes so almost uninterrupted. This is by far the longest communication compared to the previous seven that were quickly interrupted.
No great philosophical discussions, but valuable data that are still being studied by the Agency European Space.
Since the last connection on June 24, scientists regularly changed the satellite position, going up and down in altitude around the comet, hoping to restore contact. It is done.
If communications are scattered between the two robots, their counterparts on social networks, they carve a bib.
Meanwhile The tchouri comet continues its course. It should reach its closest point to the sun on August 13, before returning to the spatial vastness.
