>>6866644
It's almost as if you're implying all rocket and space tech ever isn't European.

Seriously name a single engineering principle actually contributed by American scientists to the field and not just stolen from the Germans.

>>6866639
You best believe it! First orbit of a comet, and soon first soft landing on a comet. The release of Philae is scheduled for 08:35 GMT on Wednesday, with confirmation of landing around 16:00 GMT.

Have a steaming helping of hype: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H08tGjXNHO4

>>6867617
HHHYYYPPPEEE

It's a shame there's just the one lander. Every time I see a new image of the comet, there's a whole host of things I wish we had the ability to explore.

>>6866663
sauce on the gif?

>>6866639
How big a failure will the mission be if the probe just gets buried in dust? Would we still be able to get any valuable data?

>>6867794
And is there a realistic risk of that happening?

http://rosetta.esa.int/

http://new.livestream.com/ESA/cometlanding

>>6867794
The orbiter will still continue and an impact should povide further insight into the composition of a comet and lessons for future missions.

>>6867635
You could say the same for all sorts of bodies. Even rovers and manned missions have only covered small areas so far.

I say the lander will explode in a 10 megaton fireball just a few meters before it touches the comet

http://new.livestream.com/ESA/cometlanding

Now live.

Separation of lander at 2am EST

Touchdown at 9am EST

Well, not exactly. But the live reporting.

Who all is a refugee, fleeing from authoritarian /sp/ janitors?

Why don't you have flags, /sci/?

Also, what are the betting odds this thing blows up on seperation?

Im gay

>separation happens in 13 hours
god dammit I have class in the morning

I'm not waking up at 6am to watch but I'll wake up early for this, I'm hyped.

Is there going to be live coverage of this? Does Rosetta have a camera that can transmit (relatively) live footage?

>>6867960
I should read the entire thread before posting. Sorry about this.

>>6867960
it takes 2 hours to get a single picture down, there are no video cameras

Watching the ESA live feed now.

There's so much autism in that room.

>>6867963
Two hours? Is that how long all data will take to get to us? So we're only going to find out if it was successful two hours later?

>>6867976
Or can we verify everything using a telescope?

>>6867976
a radio signal takes 30 minutes, but a picture takes 2 hours because they have very little bandwidth

>>6867902

Janitor in full blown meltdown today, deleting anything politics related.

/sci/ does this mission really matter tho? Are there gonna be surprises?

>>6867977
We can't see shit with our telescopes. At most we could pick up a tiny pixel that is slightly less black than the background.

>>6867979
There's a 99% chance it will blow up anyway.

>>6867979
a picture would be cool but nah not really

>>6867979
>are there going to be surprises?
This is a retarded question and I'll let you figure out why.

>>6867902
Present.
Fuck the mods

First the car chase threads and now lander threads

>>6867978
Okay.

7.8 bit/s (S band)
22 kbit/s (X band)

Based on this info, the image they receive every 2 hours is 7.2MB in size at the very most on the S band.

>>6867987

Well jokes on you cause I'm not ever going to figure it out.

panic in the control room, lots of arm waving, now they all stand around the same monitor

I think it something has gone wrong.

>>6866670

Get Rekt

>Constant feed of a camera staring at an antenna

They actually have shit like that?
I thought that was just dumb background filler in movies to make a control room look science-ey

>>6868025
I think it's the wallpaper

wtf kind of music is that

>>6868038
I started laughing my ass off when that music started randomly

The fuck with that music?

I really hope the music is actually playing in the control room.

>that shit taste

I shit you not, they're playing a slow jazz/funk version of Aerosmith's Walk This Way.

>>6868139

mfw I realize this

This smooth jazz tho

Are we supposed to be waiting for something?

>>6868156

in 9 hours, the lander will decouple from the ship and begin to land. several hours after that will be touchdown

>>6867617
well that was neat, some kind of super produced hype commercial?

>>6867635
Wait, is that water?!

if its water (or any other fluid) why would it come out the comet like that, as if it's pushed out. This implies that the inside of the comet is not solid (because some force which is a stronger force than the gravitational force of the body is pushing the fluid out).

anyone have a clue?! (inb4 aliens)

(whats the surface gravity of Churyumov–Gerasimenko btw...? its not mentioned on the wikipedia article)

>>6868139
Now its jazz Back in Black.

>>6866644
Thank you based America

Does /sci/ believe there's bacteria in the center of comets? Do you fellows believe life on Earth may have been started by comets (since the Laws of Conservation of Mass and Energy states that you can't "make something from nothing")? Can the Rosetta prove/refute this?

>>6868842
It has been confirmed in other comets baka

>>6868889
Any sauce on that? I have seen no official report. It would've made world headlines I assume.

>>6869267
Goddamnit, I hate it when they do things like that. The whole point of space probes is to get sent out into the dark. You're not supposed to have feels for what is essentially a missile.

We know m8, we know

Guys, how is Rosetta keeping up with the comet? Momentum?

Also, when Philae approaches the comet, how is it keeping up?

>>6869329
grappling hooks

>>6869329
It's orbiting it you turd.

>>6869332
Does a comet really have a gravity field stron enought for Rosetta to orbit it?

>>6869334
Rosetta+Philae together weigh under 200kg, 67P is about the size of a city.

>mission has a 50% rate of success

kek, fucking yuropoors man, they'd be better off flipping a coin

>>6869332
I'm surprised the comet has enough mass to gravitationally hold Rosetta.

Also, fuck you and America.

>>6868215
Hooray for space penises!

>>6869335
I'm impressed that we could calculate that from Earth.. wow science

>>6868825
FTFY

I've just found out that to get the speed to leave Mars orbit, Rosetta had to use "gravity slings" This is so. fuckin. amazing.

>>6869269
Space probes are fragile and should be cared for warmly.

Space probe designers should also not forget hayabusa's brave sacrifice when designing important subsystems. Poor Hayabusa came home crippled and had to reenter instead dropping the sample capsule and continuing on to a future mission.

>>6869343

>>6869342
Try landing and coming back from Moho in KSP.
Yeah yeah, childs play compared.
I hate Moho.
Stupid planet.

>>6869346
... I hope you're joking? Every single crap we send out uses slings to get where they're going.

>>6869332
>>6869334
>>6869335
>>6869339
"The gravity of the comet is too weak to hold Rosetta on orbit, so the sond uses little engines to keep close"

>>6869334
The comet has a mass of 10^13 kg which makes it the smallest orbited object ahead of Eros and Vesta.

>>6869339
it weighs like 10^13 kg mate, that's like 10,000,000,000,000 kilograms

>>6869350
I am still amazed that we can calculate few years plan to move around planets just to get speed going.

>>6869352
Where are you getting this from? All I've heard is that it's orbiting the comet. Does it have enough fuel to keep close for another year?

>>6869360
You can do that with a simple cheap calculator. In fact, that's how we did the first moonlanding.

Follow the stream, numbnuts. They even had to change the approach and drop just recently and have made CGI videos showing it all.

>>6869350
yeah like thats how america brought tom hanks back from the moon after apollo 13 failed midway through it

>>6869367
>Follow the stream

There's nothing on the stream m8 apart from some guys sitting around.

I know they had to do crazy manoeuvres to get into the right place beforehand.

>After catching up with the comet Rosetta will slightly overtake and enter orbit from the ‘front’ of the comet as both the spacecraft and 67P/CG move along their orbits around the Sun. Rosetta will carry out a complex series of manoeuvres to reduce the separation between the spacecraft and comet from around 100 km to 25-30 km. From this close orbit, detailed mapping will allow scientists to determine the landing site for the mission’s Philae lander. Immediately prior to the deployment of Philae in November, Rosetta will come to within just 2.5 km of the comet’s nucleus.

>>6869371
>nothing on the stream
Then you haven't been paying attention.
There has been several interviews, live coverage and CGI comparisons of the old trajectory compared to the new one.

>>6869373
Sorry, I didn't wake up at 6am, when I got up and turned the stream it was the end of the interviews.

>>6869373
>several interviews live coverage CGI comparisons

>>6869376
>>6869378
There's been at least 3 short updates with interviews, updates and coverages. Yes, a lot of dead time in between, but I'm just sitting here bored out of my mind with nothing to do, so I got the stream running on a separate monitor just in case.
Also, Norway here, didn't have to wake up that early.

It's already happened, it's probably just going to be a summary of what happened earlier (successfull decoupling)

Gonna receive the imagery of the separation from the prob any moment now....

what's the stream actually going to be of? Surely they're not streaming from the actual spacecraft

You mean the link? It is back now.

>>6869441

>>6869440
they're actually awaiting pics any minute now

>active descend system cant be turned on
I'm so fucking nervous

>>6869445
No, not the link, I know the link is OK.
When Rosetta dropped off Philae, it passed quickly away from photo range. They will do a maneuver later on her to get her back, this was explained earlier with CGI videos in the coverage.

>>6869448
harpoons are still on the table. Hope it'll be enough

>>6869448
Ah, so it did manage to get some while going by? Sweet!
WEEEE
Yeah, I'm weee'ing. Deal with it.

>>6869449
They said they're waiting for data including pictures right now.

wasn't the pictures expected to be here 30 minutes ago?

>>6869456
they said Soon™

>>6869456
Not sure what you're basing that on, but the entire mission was delayed with an hour due to change of trajectory.

>>6869460
Ah, I must have missed the update.

>>6869446

We have no idea. That's what make this whole thing so interesting. We have no idea what the surface is going to be like.

>During checks on the lander’s health, it was discovered that the active descent system, which provides a thrust to avoid rebound at the moment of touchdown, cannot be activated.

>At touchdown, landing gear will absorb the forces of the landing while ice screws in each of the probe’s feet and a harpoon system will lock Philae to the surface. At the same time, the thruster on top of the lander is supposed to push it down to counteract the impulse of the harpoon imparted in the opposite direction.

>"The cold gas thruster on top of the lander does not appear to be working so we will have to rely fully on the harpoons at touchdown,” says Stephan Ulamec, Philae Lander Manager at the DLR German Aerospace Center. “We’ll need some luck not to land on a boulder or a steep slope.”

http://sci.esa.int/rosetta/54930-rosetta-and-philae-go-for-separation/

>>6869520

>>6869514
They sound very optimistic anyways, they always account for a main scenario going to fuck and the backup plan being more than good enough.
Though, the harpoons are scary, as they might just hit dust. Which is a lot of it. Almost all of it.
But hell, they landed Curiosity, didn't they, which was experimental as fuck.

yep it's going to determine its composition via dielectric properties.

>>6869510
...

Won't touchdown be too hard if they have no thrusters?

>>6869537
No, they changed the trajectory to compensate.

MAAN THE HARPOONS

>>6869537
It's opposite — the top thrusters are (possibly) broken, so Philae will struggle no stay on the surface.

>>6869537
we are just going to shoot a harpoon at million year old ice instead and hope for the best.

Pictures expected in about 100 min

>>6869541
I presume the top thruster was to give philae better grip so the harpoons could dig in?

>>6869534
So. freacking. cool. Where are your friends right now. Why aren't you having a "our freacking shit is in space" party?

>>6869540

It's completely automatic

Capitalism here, can we mine comets like we could mine asteroids, and how much one asteroid is worth?

fuck, I should be studying right now

Is there another stream anywhere?

The ESA is presumably overloaded,

>>6869551
>Mining water
Yeah, totally worth it.

>>6869546
Indeed. And after tne years of research since take off, they've discovered that the comet possibly aren't as firm as they thought, so let's hope the harpoons get a proper grip!

>>6869553
http://new.livestream.com/accounts/362/events/3544091

>>6869554
But comets aren't pure ice are they?

>>6869554
Water in space is actually worth quite a lot.

>>6869552
This IS studying. This is more important than whatever else you're studying right now. Hell, you can probably make a thesis on it on emotions and shit around it at some point.

>>6869556
ta lad

Were's the pictures sent from Rosetta just now?

>>6869547
they have to "work", but I'm pretty sure they're following the stream aswell. Technically I have to correct theoretical electrodynamics papers for my prof right now but oh well.

>>6869562
What? NOW?

>>6869569
Okey, maybe not now, but after Phil was released.

>>6869572
It took a bloody long time with Curiosity, so guess it will be no different now. I don't know the deals about it, but low bandwith is for sure one. With Curiosity we got some heavily compressed images first, then much much later we got the real deal.

Is there going to be a video of this thing landing?

>>6869552
>>6869566
Well I blew off my classes at university of technology today just to stay put. I hope they'll understand

Anyone got a working stream?

>>6869579
Yes, they have a camera crew from the wildlife department of BBC standing by on site.

>>6869581

>>6869579

>>6869584

>>6869586
Maths analysis sounds rather dull

>>6869577
Sounds sound.

>>6869587
Philea has a landing camera underneath, so we'll probably get this data.

I really hope that bitch suceeds to land.

>>6869590
It is quite important if you wanna start to understand physics

>>6869593
Are these from Philae?

>>6869598
no

>>6869587
Curiosity had much more modern tech, Rosetta is bloody 10 years old. There probably will be some kind of "video" but I don't think it's much more than a set of stills, or horrible FPS.

>>6869591
You got any data on the camera it has? I can't find any info on it (though I didn't really try)

>>6869590
I suppose he is talking about mathematical analysis,

>>6869594
Ok, nevermind. It's working now all of sudden.

>>6869600
there will be only pictures

>>6869593
>you will never have the power to fly into space at FTL speed
>you will stay on Earth your whole life
>You will never watch the beauty of the universe with your own eyes

What sort of data will the lander be sending back?

>>6869607
I am so much more happy living in this age when so much exciting shit happens and it's not something that's "oh, you went to Mars? Yes, I was there 6 times last year, getting tired really".

>>6869615
Composition of the comet is an important one.

>>6869615
pics and scientific data.
Pics should include Rosetta at separation, descend and a panoramic once it lands.

>>6869607
I would rather be in a team creating a robot going to outer space than be an astronaut physically going there. The astronaut is merely the labourer, it's with robots the real exiting stuff happens. Technology is extensions of the human body.

>>6866639

yo sci where is stream of the lander?

ESA-Director Rhomas Reiter says: "50% chance of success"

Doesn't sound promising

>>6869616
i just want to meet aliums

>>6869624
suace

>>6869622
RTFT

>>6869624
Top worry.

>>6869628

no give me stream link plox

>>6869619
Does it have the equipment to determine if there are micro organisms in the ice?

>>6869624
>no link

ayyyyy

>>6869624
Don't die!

>>6869633
>COSAC
yup

>>6869634
lmao

>>6869607
>>you will never have the power to fly into space at FTL speed
Stop your whining, the solar system is a big enough place as is and we haven't explored it much either.

>You will never watch the beauty of the universe with your own eyes
Buy a goddamn telescope then or go the fuck outside.

It's in german so i didn't bother

>>6869633
First of all, that's pretty much not going to happen.
Second, as with Curiosity, not directly, but it can very perfectly analyze molecules, so indirectly, yes.

>>6869641
i spik german gib link jetzt!

>>6869641
Have it anyways:

he just wanted to atrophy old peoplez

Hype.

>>6869640

its just a picture.

>>6869653
Yes, but it's live.

what is happening. why German all of sudden

>>6869658
really? why german?

>>6869658
The Fourth Reich has started

>>6869636
>>6869482
>>6869241
cute
is this the most kawaii mission to date?

>>6869658

German control center.

Only 3 hours left!

>>6869662
alpha as fuark

>>6869662
Watch how Rosetta fails and he looks like an idiot.

What should I do to work with something like this in the future?

I'm finishing my bachelor of physics at the moment, should be done by christmas.

thread is autosaging, let's continue here
>>6869567

>>6869677
>still on page one
>on the slowest board on 4chan

>>6869675

Aeronautical engineering, astrophysics, etc.

>>6869662
I hope his name is Gordon...

>>6869684
>slowest board on 4chan
sure you do not ride bikes nor trains

>>6869675
>bachelor
Isn't it kinda expected in your field that you at least finish your master, before being hired anywhere?

>>6869684
>slowest board on 4chan

Pretty sure that's /po/ or something

>>6869675
pure math

inb4 monumental failure

>>6869702
>Philae bounces off the comet so hard it affects its trajectory
>comet collides with earth and everyone dies

>>6869698
Stop it. Pure math is strictly for if you want to teach uni.

>>6869708
>CERN creating black holes
>this
why is Europe trying so hard to doom us all

>>6869567
>>6869567
>>6869567
Let us all move all discussions to the new thread just for consistency's sake.

>>6869708
A even better show then expected then

>>6869607
Why do you think I study Mechanical Engineering, you little shit?

Randall the drawfag updates it every five minutes.

Hilarious, and slightly sad, that this is the only way to get an english stream, SFAIK.

>>6869748
It's the only stream that's working for me.
I'm literally watching a livestream via 4chan comments and stick-figure drawings.

>>6869759
What a time to be alive.

>>6869663

Quite possibly.

Jesus, someone get this guy a translator.

>>6870024
he´s the one who discovered the comet right?

>>6870034
who cares, get that old slav shit out of there

>>6870047
>>6870024
>>6870034
Guess they gotta pay the guy some lip service. Can't tell if he's nervous or senile.

>>6869759

fucking slav shits everywhere

>>6870058
He clearly just doesn't speak good English.

10/10 russian translator

>>6870078
she had a cute smile :D

>>6870078
She sounds Australian

Fuck, that image of the tiny lander against the blackness really hit home the remote nature of this mission.

>>6870098
The lander will explode like a fucking nuke. I guarantee it.

>>6870145
It contains no fissile materials.

>>6870114

ESA photo page failing on load.
what is the current ETA. 1:45 from now?

>>6870169
>>6869567

>>6870169
less than 40min

The EU,if the mission is a success,will take the lead in spacescience/spacetravel

>>6870155
The comet has a potential of several hundred million volts relative to the lander. It will be vaporized a few meters before it lands.

>>6870185
The ESA and EU are not directly related. And no, the ESA won't take the lead just by being the first to orbit and land on a comet. NASA has two big events next year: Dawn orbiting Ceres and New Horizons flying by Pluto.

>>6870193
The ESA is funded by the EU member states,how are they not related?even Luxembourg pays millions.well "lead" might overstretch things but still,it was never done before.Worst case,Nasa,Esa,India and china will racing for the mars.

This mission is a complete disaster! Only 3 Niggers.
This is completely racist we need more diversity.

>>6870216
Because ESA is also funded by Norway and Switzerland while some EU members like Croatia and Bulgaria are not part of it. There are a lot of smilar pan-European organizations.
They are not entirely unrelated though:

pls Merrica,you had the moon landing,now shhh its bed time,adult stuff is happening here.

Humanity just landed on a comet.

>>6871084

510 millions kilometers away

just wow
