Stop all communications with Philae probe

The ground observers said the last greeting to the exploration ship Philae before cutting the entire communication channel after a year of inactivity with the robot that explored Philae, once landed safely on Comet from Rosetta's spacecraft. European Aerospace Agency (ESA).

On July 27, told AFP news agency from the ground checkpoint in Cologne, Mr. Andreas Schuetz of DLR German Aeronautics Agency said all contact information for the Philae probe ended and ended. a successful mission to the scientific world.

According to him, the decision to cut all communication sources with Philae is to save energy for Rosetta, "mother ship" Rosetta, which is on a mission to fly around the orbit of 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko, in the final weeks. shows its own historic mission, expected to end on September 30.

Because the panels were exhausted, Philae's last successful connection with Earth took place on July 9 last year.

Currently, the communication lines seem to have been prevented from being very difficult to operate again.

Previously, on November 12, 2014, after an effort spanning more than a decade, Philae had landed safely on Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

This is the first time in history, a spacecraft landed from Earth successfully landing on Comet, marking a major milestone in the career of space research.

This event opens up many new discoveries in the future about the operation of the universe and the origin of life.
