Rosetta –the spacecraft
-Abbhirami
Rosetta ‘s achievement will be marked in the annals of time,
as it is the first ever spacecraft to reach its destination -67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko,at
right time. It travelled about 6.4 billion kilometers since its launch in March
2004.Its next plan is to drop Philae safely on the comet. Images that are
collected reveal the overall land surface and texture. It is found that many
surfaces are coarse and sharp edged. It is now found that comets are the main
reason for the formation of water and carbon molecules. It is believed that
Philae will supply us with vital information about the evolution of the formation
of planets, when it gets backs to Earth.
