The European research module Philae from the European probe Rosetta, located on the surface of the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko, will resume its work in March this year. This was during a press conference in Paris, said the head of the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES), Jean-Yves Le Gall.
“Etopeya Philae will continue,” – quoted him as saying RTE .
The unit landed on the comet on November 12 and then began to study the chemical composition of the comet’s nucleus. Three days later, exhausted reserves of energy module discontinued to signal, since it is in “sleep” mode.
It is expected that by early spring sunlight will allow Philae recharge their batteries, and with him will be able to establish communication. “We hope that from March sunlight will allow the robot to recharge the batteries to resume scientific work,” – said Le Gall.
Despite the fact that the Philae worked on the surface of a cosmic body a few days, he could go down in history as the first machine that was able to successfully land on the comet’s surface and drill for taking soil samples. The module also failed to take samples of water – it turned out that she was different from that which exists in the world.
has analyzed data on the water were obtained from the probe device ROSINA Rosetta. Also it is installed optical system OSIRIS – in early December was distributed made her a picture of the comet.
The probe Rosetta with the Philae module was launched to the comet P67 / Churyumov-Gerasimenko, March 2, 2004. Historical landing apparatus occurred more than 500 million kilometers from Earth.
