The Philae Lander drifts smoothly into its rendezvous with comet 67P, marking the climax of the Rosetta mission. The Lander, launched March 2, 2004, took over ten years to reach its landing point, circling the sun numerous times before finally riding up alongside the comet. “With Rosetta we are opening a door to the origin of planet Earth and fostering a better understanding of our future,” Jean-Jacques Dordain, the Director General of ESA said.
