Rosetta will approach just six miles from his kite on the 14th, which will carry out a series of measures and scientific observations for a more precise knowledge in particular its atmosphere.
The European Space Agency (ESA) today presented the program of this phase of closest approach to comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which will take place at 12.41 GMT, when Rosetta fly over the region called Imhotep.
Matt Taylor, one of the mission scientists said this will enable to make “unique” observations, particularly high-resolution measurements of the surface at different wavelengths or sample the atmosphere.
The probe and passed within 26 kilometers of 67P on Tuesday and now is moving to within 140 kilometers on Saturday, from which he will give a new twist to his approach.
Rosetta is placed on the most active regions of the comet and that should help scientists understand the relationships between the source of observed activity and atmosphere.
It will pay special attention to finding areas gases and dust quickly away from the surface, as well as the evolution of these components at greater distances from commit .
Rosetta flyby 67P with the sun directly behind what it supposed to be taking pictures without shade. The comet’s surface is very dark and reflects only 6% of the light it receives.
The next August is when it is expected that the Rosetta comet-at accompanies them on their trip- reaches its highest point . proximity to sun
