[quote:KipKat:MV8yNTk4OTk2XzQ1Nzc2NTkyXzc0RUI3NUFE] Did they decide on a landing spot yet? I know that it will still take a while to do all the mapping and measurements, but with the existing data they might have a preference for a specific region. Just wondering. [/quote]
Original Message
I want to use this thread to highlight news from the Rosetta comet mission.
Ten years ago the European Space Agency ( ESA ) launched the Rosetta comet chaser to rendezvous with comet 67P, go into orbit around it and land a probe on its surface.

When the Rosetta mission is complete we will know so much more about comets, their composition and formation. Comets have been a cause of fear and fascination throughout human history, within the next few months many long standing mysteries will be solved.
