ChaSTE probe on Chandrayaan-3 successfully measures moon's temperature, surpassing previous missions' struggles with thermal ...

Rosetta would later become the first spacecraft to orbit a comet. It was also the only mission to attempt a soft landing on a comet. Rosetta launched on an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana and ...

In the climax of a decade-long mission, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft on Wednesday is scheduled to land a small probe on the surface of a comet – something that has never been ...

An curved arrow pointing right. The Rosetta spacecraft has been trailing a comet for the last two and a half years, on a slow, spinning ride to it's ultimate destruction. But science thanks you ...

The Rosetta mission, expected to land on a comet, was named after the Rosetta Stone, which allowed hieroglyphs to be deciphered. In 1799, in the Egyptian city of Rosetta, archaeologists discovered a ...

The mission consisted of the Rosetta orbiter and the Philae lander. The probes were launched on 2 March 2004, travelled 6.4 billion kilometres in 10 years and, with the help of a few planet swing-bys, ...
