The simulacrum — which form by three exposures under orange , greenish , and blue filter — shows the South Pole at a resolution of 12 klick per pixel .
Rosetta is come back home for the last time , to take the impulse necessary to reach the comet 67P / Churyumov - Gerasimenko . When it achieve it in 2014 , Rosetta will first study the comment flying alongside , then it will seek to set its mechanic foot on it . For that it will apply the Philae lander that it carries along its ten - long tripper around the Solar System .
Philae will practice holes into the comet to study its nucleus in hunt for life ’s construction blocks , and it will set ashore on firing two harpoons to avoid bounce off its control surface . That ’s will be when Captain Ahab — the delegacy comptroller back in ground — laughs like a madman , and Starbuck shakes his head in despair . [ ESA ]
