ROSETTA WIDE AWAKE AS CHECKUP CONTINUES

Following last week’s wake-up of the Rosetta comet-chaser, ESA’s flight controllers have conducted the first in a series of health checks aimed at assessing how well it came through 31 months of hibernation.



Winners of WAKE UP ROSETTA

We asked you to help us wake up Rosetta from 31 months of deep-space hibernation in a fun video shout-out contest. With over 200 entries and 75 000 votes, you certainly succeeded!

The rules were simple: take out your mobile phone and record a ‘selfie’ of you shouting “Wake up, Rosetta!” But you were far more creative than that…

We were truly impressed by the effort that all of you put into your videos, from getting your pets, friends and families involved and constructing fantastic model Rosetta spacecraft, to storyboarding brilliant stop-motion animations with Lego, and writing entire songs and choreographing dance routines for dozens or even hundreds of passionate Rosetta fans.

Why on earth does it take so long to boot up the system?

There is plenty of time to meticulously and systemmatically boot up the different systems.
Take a look at Where is Rosetta today? . A very good software in 4 dimensions that you can spin around to see how Rosetta is approaching the comet at any point in time.

You get the real truth and not the fucking spin doctors of smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY who can present the moral corrupt and moral bankrupts as moral compasses.
We will get to see those moral compasses hooting and hooting Arseloon and LEE KWA clans chasing that hundreds of billions stolen from us by LKY.
Which will happen the moment LKY become a rotting corpse in days or weeks to come.

GET YOUR XOs AND BUBBLIES READY FOR THE BIG BIG BIG YUMSENGS TO COME

Rosetta is about to put on the brakes to ensure that it is on target for comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

This video explains the crucial orbit correction manoeuvres that are required to slow down Rosetta's speed, relative to the comet, from 750 metres per second to just one metre per second between 21 May and 5 August. By then, nine thruster burns (including one test burn in early May) will have reduced the distance between them from one million kms to just under 200 kms.

LAST OF THE FATTIES

With about 4500 km separating Rosetta from comet 67P/C-G, the spacecraft will conduct the last of four FAT – ‘Far Approach Trajectory’ – orbit correction manoeuvres later today.
The manoeuvre aims to further reduce Rosetta’s speed with respect to the comet by about 4.82 m/s, such that Rosetta ends the day with a relative speed of 3.5m/s at a distance of 3500 km.
