The mosaic comprises a series of images captured by Rosetta\u2019s OSIRIS camera over a 30 minute period spanning the first touchdown. The time of each of image is marked on the corresponding insets and is in GMT. A comparison of the touchdown area shortly before and after first contact with the surface is also provided.<\/p>\n

The images were taken with Rosetta\u2019s OSIRIS narrow-angle camera when the spacecraft was 17.5 km from the comet centre, or roughly 15.5 km from the surface. They have a resolution of 28 cm\/pixel and the enlarged insets are 17 x 17 m.<\/p>\n

From left to right, the images show Philae descending towards and across the comet before touchdown. The image taken after touchdown, at 15:43 GMT, confirms that the lander was moving east, as first suggested by the data returned by the CONSERT experiment, and at a speed of about 0.5 m\/s.<\/p>\n

The final location of Philae is still not known, but after touching down and bouncing again at 17:25 GMT, it reached there at 17:32 GMT. The imaging team is confident that combining the CONSERT ranging data with OSIRIS and navcam images from the orbiter and images from near the surface and on it from Philae\u2019s ROLIS and CIVA cameras will soon reveal the lander\u2019s whereabouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
