Is comet probe doomed? First picture from surface shows Philae has landed on its side in a CAVE - and without solar power it will die in 30 hoursÊ
Is comet probe doomed? First picture from surface shows Philae has landed on its side in a CAVE - and without solar power it will die in 30 hoursÊ
In just over 50 years of space exploration humanity has landed spacecraft on Venus, the moon, Mars, Saturn's moon, Titan, and two asteroids. Now a new object can be added to that list: a comet.
But Esa scientists are concerned about the future of the Philae probe after it was revealed that the probe is likely stuck in a cave on the surface of the comet - and it may also be lying on its side.
With limited access to sunlight, and only a maximum of 30 hours of charge in its battery, scientists now face a race against time to get useful data from the probe before it dies - or find a way to recharge its solar panels and keep Philae alive.
ÔIf you look at the images we have at the moment, it looks like Philae is resting against a very irregular rockÕ, said mission director Paolo Ferri
ÔThere is some speculation about it being in a holeÉhonestly, we have no idea, because we havenÕt seen all the images.
ÔBut what is more important is the attitude [angle] of the lander, and the clock is ticking for us to find this out.Õ
In a press conference in french Esa also added: 'We are in a kind of cave, not a very flat area.' And they said that the probe has access to 90 minutes of sunlight every 12 hours - which might be enough to keep it alive.Ê
According to Philippe Gaudon, who heads the Rosetta mission at the French space agency CNES, the probe is thought to be at an angle of about 30 degrees on the surface.
Philae now only has around 20-30 hours of battery life left, before it will attempt to switch to rechargeable ones replenished by sunlight.ÊÊ
Mr Ferri says that all of the non-mechanical instruments on Philae are now working perfectly, but scientists will not be attempting to start up any of the mechanical instruments.

ESA-Mission - Philae Mission
This image shows an OSIRIS narrow-angle image taken from a distance of 30 km on 14 September 2014 (prior to landing) marks the first touchdown point of the Philae lander. The signal confirming landing arrived on Earth at 16:03 GMT (17:03 CET). It is thought that Philae bounced twice before settling on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The lander has not yet been identified and images are still to be downloaded from the Rosetta spacecraft for further analysis.

This image was taken by Philae's down-looking descent ROLIS imager when it was about 40 m above the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It shows that the surface of the comet is covered by dust and debris ranging from mm to metre sizes. The large block in the top right corner is 5 m in size. In the same corner the structure of the Philae landing gear is visible. The aim of the ROLIS experiment is to study the texture and microstructure of the comet's surface.

This image was taken by Philae's down-looking descent ROLIS imager when it was about 40 m above the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 12 November 2014. It shows that the surface of the comet is covered by dust and debris ranging from mm to metre sizes. The large block in the top right corner is 5 m in size. In the same corner the structure of the Philae landing gear is visible. The aim of the ROLIS experiment is to study the texture and microstructure of the comet's surface.

ESA-Mission - Philae Mission
This five-image montage of OSIRIS narrow-angle images is being used to try to identify the final touchdown point of Rosetta?s lander Philae. The images were taken around the time of landing on 12 November when Rosetta was about 18 km from the centre of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (about 16 km from the surface). The signal confirming the first touchdown arrived on Earth at 16:03 GMT (17:03 CET). It is thought that Philae bounced twice before settling on the surface of the comet. The lander has not yet been identified and images are still to be downloaded from the Rosetta spacecraft for further analysis.

This image from Rosetta?s OSIRIS narrow-angle camera shows the Philae lander at 10:23 GMT (onboard spacecraft time) on 12 November. The image shows details of the lander, including the deployment of the three legs and of the antennas. Separation occurred onboard the spacecraft at 08:35 GMT (09:35 CET), with the confirmation signal arriving on Earth at 09:03 GMT (10:03 CET). The signal confirming landing arrived on Earth at 16:03 GMT (17:03 CET). Foto: ESA/Rosetta/MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/SSO/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA

Rosetta"s lander Philae has returned the first panoramic image from the surface of a comet. The view, captured by the CIVA-P imaging system, shows a 360° view around the point of final touchdown. Parts of Philae"s landing gear can be seen in some of the frames.

Is comet probe doomed? First picture from surface shows Philae has landed on its side in a CAVE - and without solar power it will die in 30 hoursÊ
Is comet probe doomed? First picture from surface shows Philae has landed on its side in a CAVE - and without solar power it will die in 30 hoursÊ
In just over 50 years of space exploration humanity has landed spacecraft on Venus, the moon, Mars, Saturn's moon, Titan, and two asteroids. Now a new object can be added to that list: a comet.
But Esa scientists are concerned about the future of the Philae probe after it was revealed that the probe is likely stuck in a cave on the surface of the comet - and it may also be lying on its side.
With limited access to sunlight, and only a maximum of 30 hours of charge in its battery, scientists now face a race against time to get useful data from the probe before it dies - or find a way to recharge its solar panels and keep Philae alive.
ÔIf you look at the images we have at the moment, it looks like Philae is resting against a very irregular rockÕ, said mission director Paolo Ferri
ÔThere is some speculation about it being in a holeÉhonestly, we have no idea, because we havenÕt seen all the images.
ÔBut what is more important is the attitude [angle] of the lander, and the clock is ticking for us to find this out.Õ
In a press conference in french Esa also added: 'We are in a kind of cave, not a very flat area.' And they said that the probe has access to 90 minutes of sunlight every 12 hours - which might be enough to keep it alive.Ê
According to Philippe Gaudon, who heads the Rosetta mission at the French space agency CNES, the probe is thought to be at an angle of about 30 degrees on the surface.
Philae now only has around 20-30 hours of battery life left, before it will attempt to switch to rechargeable ones replenished by sunlight.ÊÊ
Mr Ferri says that all of the non-mechanical instruments on Philae are now working perfectly, but scientists will not be attempting to start up any of the mechanical instruments.
ÔIf we move something it might tip it overÉonce we know the attitude [angle], we will know what
