Rosetta Comet Landing: LIVE-Stream, Countdown & Mission Updates

Woo hoo !

The Eagle has landed !!!!!


I was all prepared for failure but this is great news.

There does seem to be some concern about the telemetry, because (as I can surmise from just watching the video) the altitude reading has not updated after landing. From their chatter amongst themselves, it seems the telemetry says they are down, but the altitude reading is still an old one saying they are still above the surface.

Hopefully just a data glitch.

I think so, too. Just a quick snapshot (clearly celebrating):

Posted this on previous page, but it's such a great image, here it is again for any who missed the BIG MOMENT

it's down...What way up though..??

I think the touchdown confirmation is supposed to be "anchors planted on surface".

could still be on it's side/roof though.?

yeah, they still don't look 100% certain yet..

Very cool!! I missed the celebratory stuff on the livestream by (quite literally) about 15 seconds But I'm glued to it now, watching & listening. Who'da thunk we'd be living in an age of such space exploration where humans would land a probe on a comet? Kinda mindblowing

confirmed, telemetry recieved
WAY TO GO!!!!

Anybody got some extra kleenex... I'm fricken all teary eyed over this...

congratulations to all of us

thank you esa for this moment

Its confirmed,landed anchored and senting back data!!!
Time for a celebratory beer.

Annnd thanks to the power of suggestion, that makes two of us. Thanks Cranial

I absolutely can't wait for the data to start flowing back our way from this. There's bound to be some fascinating things uncovered.

Whoohoo!

Tuned in just in time for touchdown!

Cool, so Bruce Willis is finally not among us anymore. \o/

yip, looks like they pulled it off....Now time for Manned mining operations to begin.

Sorry... can't help myself.

I'm such a sap for this groundbreaking sciencey stuff.

*sniffle*

YES!!!!!


So proud at the moment I welled up
