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.
This is a blog created by Ms Luminati (science teacher), Ms Mathis (English teacher) and Ms Burguière (science teacher) for the students of lycée expérimental André Malraux (Biarritz, France) who are learning science in English. They want to show that science is fun, interesting and easy particularly when it is done in English! This year we hope to work again with some fine European partners. Let us all have fun together!

New data from Rosetta
Rosetta is a name of mission in the space and is a project of European Space Agency (ESA). The journey of Rosetta began the 2nd March 2004. The objective of Rosetta is to find informations about the origins of humanity. Rosetta is a space probe to lead a little robot on the comet. The name of little rob is Philae and is fit out 10 object to analyse the composition of the ground of the comet for example, one spectrometer and one magnetometer. Philae land with two harpoons to set Philae on the comet. The scientist of ESA have much hope on the little robot because the information of the comet are very important for ESA. The end of the Rosetta and Philae mission is planned in December 2015.
New data from Rosetta
Rosetta is a spacecraft and it's the firt mission to orbit and land on a comet : 67P/Tchourioumov-Guérassimenko. Rosetta was built in 1993, it was launched on March 2nd 2004. In 2010, Rosetta is left in abeyance and reactivated in January 2014. In August 16th 2014, it begins its operations.
The November 12th 2014 is an historic day : Rosetta realeases the atterisseur Philae who settles on the comet (more than 10 years after the launch). Philae has to analyze the composition of the ground, the temperature... The end of the mission is planed in December 2015.

After presenting myself, I asked several her questions that she answered too. I am going to give you a topic of her answeres. I started by asking her in what does her job consist in? She told me that, she was responsable of the pastoral office, and the monitors. She is also responsable if the students are present or absent. She talks with the teachers to make sur that everything is alright or not. After that I asked her, what certificate or diploma do we need to access her job. Her job requires to pass a contest, a few years more of studying after the "BAC". My following questions was, why did she chosen this job? She answered me, because she likes the contact that she has with the students. (that's why she's so nice). Then I asked her if she liked her job? She told me yes, because here there is a great contact with the students. And that was it.
