New data from Rosetta

Rosetta arrived in orbit Churyumov-Gerasimenko of Comet 67P November 12, 2014, after a journey of more than 10 years. She sent a probe on the comet named Philae. It is installed without difficulty but harpoons did not work which slowed slightly data taken on the ground and accelerating energy loss during drilling, which resulted in a "hibernation" of the probe and cut all communications with the earth. Scientists predict a total stop of the mission in December 2015.
