The robot has made much of its mission, besides the analyzes by Philae are far from having revealed all their . secrets

“This is clearly an extraordinary technical success, a scientific success,” told BFMTV Sylvestre Maurice, an astrophysicist at the University of Toulouse. “These results are amazing, they reveal a much richer comet, much more complex than we thought. We must not forget that these are the comets that brought us some of the water in our oceans and why not the organic chemistry that we discovered through Philae “.
