The Rosetta probe will end its mission on September 30

After 12 years of research, the European Space Agency's (ESA) Rosetta probe with comet exploration mission 67P will end its mission on September 30.

Rosetta, along with comet orbiter probe 67P (also known as Churyumov-Gerasimenko) , will cease to operate by causing a control crash into a rock surface on comet on September 30 come here.

Rosetta will "commit suicide" by plunge into the comet after completing the mission on September 30.

As explained by ESA, they really couldn't let Rosetta spacecraft continue its mission when the 67P comet is close to Jupiter, placing it very far from the Sun. That means there is not enough solar power for the probe to continue to operate.

While Rosetta was put into a hibernation mode with a low capacity during the 31-month period from the beginning of 2011 during the longest trip to the comet, hibernation now will not work to help much. The probe is currently spinning around comet 67P, far from the sun, up to 525 million miles. This is in conjunction with Rosetta's age, perhaps it's time to "go to the garden".

Rosetta is the key to providing images, measurements and a number of comets related to comet 67P, including data showing comet dust containing amino acid glycine . ESA scientists say that data from Rosetta is enough for us to research for several years.

Of course, Rosetta will continue her work until the last day. The probe will begin to move into position to be researched in August, and the last 6 weeks are responsible for providing information about the final orbit of the comet. Then, during the "suicide" process, it will capture high resolution images and other data near it, go to ESA before hitting the ground.
