Enhanced image of asteroid Šteins by Rosetta 2008. 5 September – Flyby of asteroid 2867 Šteins. The spacecraft passed the main-belt asteroid at a distance of 800 km (500 mi) and the relatively slow speed of 8.6 km/s (31,000 km/h; 19,000 mph). [153] 2009. 13 November – Third and final swing-by of Earth at 48,024 km/h (29,841 mph). [154] [155]
30 September 2016 — The Rosetta spacecraft ended its mission by an attempt to soft-land close to a 130 m (425 ft) wide pit, called Deir el-Medina, [48] on comet 67P. The walls of the pit contain 0.91 m (3 ft) wide so-called "goose bumps", considered to be building blocks of the comet.
On 5 September 2008, the Rosetta space probe flew by Šteins at a distance of 800 km and a relatively slow speed of 8.6 km/s. Despite the short duration of this encounter (approximately 7 minutes in total), a great amount of data was obtained by the 15 scientific instruments operating on board the Rosetta spacecraft. [ 26 ]
Since it's been a year since Rosetta landed on the comet it orbited for a couple of years, you'd think the ESA had already decoded everything the vessel sent back before its demise. Apparently ...
Space probe broke orbit on 5 September 2012 and headed to Ceres; first "big four" asteroid visited by a spacecraft, largest asteroid visited by a spacecraft at the time. 4179 Toutatis: 2.45: 1934 Chang'e 2: 2012 3.2 0.70 Flyby; [1] closest asteroid flyby, first asteroid visited by a Chinese probe. 1 Ceres: 939.4 1801 Dawn: 2015–2018: 35 0.07
NASA will crash a spacecraft into an asteroid for the first time ever as part of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), a planetary defense mission. NASA's latest mission will nudge an asteroid.
On 23 November 2015, the Blue Origin New Shepard suborbital rocket achieved its first powered soft landing near the launch site, paving the way for full reuse of its propulsion stage. On 21 December, the maiden flight of the SpaceX Falcon 9 Full Thrust took place, ending with a successful landing of its first stage.
Rosetta Stone (NAS: RST) , the company behind the popular language learning software, is a great company to watch.It's proof that having a great product doesn't automatically mean a company will ...
