Mayhaps the comet was actually a nickel-iron asteroid charged with plasma from the sun and that fried the crap out of the harpoon mechanism when it touched. Those harpoons meant to penetrate nickel-iron? Did that drill actually do any drilling?

I count this as very reliable information. I was happy to see it. Until next time!😊

I was so excited about the Rosetta mission. Then I learned about the ESA practice of not releasing images because they dont want anyone one else making discoveries. Some images are never shared with the public or other scientist and never even get reviewed in fear someone will find something before they do. It is still a great mission but just not as much so with world exclusion.

@CountScarlioni

5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, ESA have had quite the backlash from the scientific community over that and have promised to revisit their practices in future. It has to be said though their fears are potentially founded as external discoveries have been made in the past on the back of publicly released data. ESA have to justify their expense on their publishing output, so to just give their data straight off the mark could end up seeing the project abandoned by it's member nations who don't feel they get anything out of it. I guess that's an issue NASA never have to deal with. Still it's better than CNSA, where all we ever see are heavily edited highlights smeared with propaganda.

I very rarely hear of the first ever landing of a space probe on an asteroid. This was in 2001 when the NEAR space probe, which wasn't even designed to land, was carefully guided in to a soft landing on Eros. Has everyone forgotten about this historic moment in space exploration?

@iancanty9875

@@perlasandoval7883 That may be true but what was notable about the landing on Eros was that the probe wasn’t even designed to land at all. It was an amazing feat of flight control. The probe was brought in at a very low angle, matching the speed of the asteroid, until it finally settled gently onto the surface. It was a truly historic moment in space exploration and it’s a shame it is not remembered.

Kind of confused as to what happened during the out gassing, they sent it out in orbit around the comet to protect it and then it crashed back down again?

nice cliffhanger ^^

interesting. how did it match the commet's spin ?

The harpoons were known to be suspect before the landing. Stability would have been improved if the momentum wheel was left operating after touchdown (nominal landing procedure was to turn the wheel off). When it bounced, it therefore tumbled due to lack of gyric stiffness, and that added to the problem.
