In 2014, Rosetta became the first mission to orbit a comet and to
deploy a lander onto its surface. This is the story of ESA's
pioneering comet explorer, following the mission from its initial
inception to its historic touchdown. Read along as the Rosetta
orbiter and its lander, Philae, evolve over the years, overcoming
early mission hurdles before embarking on their one-way,
decade-long voyage to a comet. See how the saga then culminates
with Rosetta and Philae at last unveiling their icy target and
achieving an unprecedented touchdown on its surface. Award-winning
space writer Peter Bond takes us behind the scenes of this historic
endeavor, sharing insights from the international team of
scientists and engineers who made the mission possible, describing
the remarkable technology that they created, and delving into the
treasure trove of scientific discoveries that followed. Recounting
in vivid detail the inner workings of Rosetta, this book is a
celebration of the mission that has left a lasting impact on
planetary science and space exploration.
