Scientists summarize 2014. Landing probe “Fila” the mission “Rosetta” comet Churyumov the surface – Gerasimenko is considered a major event of the year. The landing module of the spacecraft was carried out more November 12.
From the station “Rosetta” undocked module “Phil”, which is now on the comet. Project for over twenty years. In second place, scientists put the events associated with the project BICEP-2, whose representatives announced the discovery of the microwave background polarization associated with the relic gravitational waves predicted by Inflation.
Alexei Moiseev, a member of SAO RAS and SAI , the author of unusual ringed galaxies, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society believes it is beautiful and two observation results associated with supernovae in other galaxies: direct detection of lines in the spectrum of radioactive cobalt SN2014J, confirmed the scenario of a thermonuclear explosion of supernovae of type Ia, and opening on the Hubble Space Telescope images of four images at once a supernova created by the gravitational lens.
«Fila” (Eng. Philae lander) – lander designed to land on a comet.
The device is designed and manufactured by the European Space Agency. “Fila” Placed on the spacecraft “Rosetta”, was launched on March 2, 2004 to the comet 67P / Churyumov – Gerasimenko. Separation apparatus “Fila” from “Rosetta” took place November 12, 2014, at 9:35 UTC.
This was followed by a 7-hour reduction in the surface of the comet. Planting took place in the unscheduled mode. From 15:34 UTC to 17:32 UTC happened three hits with two rebounds between them (the sound of it reached Earth after nearly half an hour). This is the first in the history of the whole successful landing on a comet.
