Rosette Mission: Journey to the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko through the discoverer of the comet

Today I came across a very interesting news: about the Rosette mission, about which more than once and not two wrote on Habré, said the discoverer of comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This is Klim Ivanovich Churyumov , who in May gave a lecture on this topic.

Probably, the lecture will be interesting only to those who are interested in space and spacecraft, but that’s why the Cosmonautics hub.

As for the mission itself, it consists in landing the Phil module on a comet. The module is aboard the Rosetta interplanetary station. By the way, this station and the module is not far from the comet - about half a million kilometers.

Here is a 3D simulator of the mission , where you can study in detail all the stages, and see who, where and why flies.

And here is the lecture itself:
