Philae robot

The Philae robot on the comet "woke up" and sent data to Earth on June 14 after 7 months of "hibernating", according to information posted on the European Space Agency's website. (ESA).

The Philae robot works again after 7 months of "hibernation"

The signal transmitted from the Philae robot was recorded at the European Space Operations Center located in the city of Darmstadt (Germany) at 3:00 am (Vietnam time) on June 14. More than 300 data packages were analyzed by experts at the Ground Control Center at the German Aerospace Center (DLR).

According to the ESA website, the Philae robot has 85 seconds to transmit information to the ground team through the Rosetta spacecraft. This is the first time that Philae robots have contacted Earth since falling into a state of hibernation in November 2014.

Results of data analysis showed that Philae robots were probably "waking up " earlier, because there was a lot of previous data that this robot could not move to the ground earlier.

Scientists are still waiting for the next 'contact' of Philae. Information shows that there are still more than 8,000 data retention packages in memory of Philae robots.

Dr. Stephan Ulamec, DLR's Philae project manager, said the condition of the Philae robot is very good, the robot is operating at -35 degrees Celsius. According to Stephan Ulamec, Philae is ready to operate.

Philae is an exploration robot on the Rosetta spacecraft. After a 10-year journey, on November 12, 2014, the Philae robot separated from Rosetta and landed on comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko , 500 million kilometers from Earth. After landing on comet 67P, the Philae robot sent valuable data to Earth. However, due to energy exhaustion, this robot has fallen into a state of "hibernation" on November 15, 2014.

The exploration of Philae's robot landing on comet 67P is considered an important event in the aerospace field and the biggest scientific breakthrough of 2014. Scientists hope the data collected will help people discover more about the solar system and the universe.
