The small lander “Philae” on the comet “Tschuri” has completed its mission. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) said on Friday in Cologne, it presumed that the mini-lab probably no longer register
“the chances of Philae again makes contact to our team in Lander Control Center DLR, unfortunately tend to zero, and we also send any commands more,” says DLR project manager Stephan Ulamec. “Philae” Energy is no longer enough, and the electronics is too cold. The robot goes into eternal winter sleep over.
The European space probe “Rosetta” had dropped the mini-lab in November 2014 after ten years of travel on the comet. However arrived “Philae” to a shady spot – and was thus far less sun and thus energize than planned. Still, it was possible to scientists by its own account, to investigate more than 60 hours with him. In recent months, they had received no radio signals from it.
