ESA’s comet-chasing mission Rosetta was launched on the 2nd of March 2004 and through a complex series of flybys (three times past Earth and once past Mars) arrived ten years after at its destination: comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
In June 2011, Rosetta was put into deep-space hibernation for the coldest, most distant leg of the journey (800 million kilometres from the sun) and was woken up on 20th of January 2014. Finally, Rosetta was set on comet’s orbit on August 2014 to achieve a successful landing of Philae lander on 12th of November 2014. Comets are the primitive building blocks of the Solar System and the likely source of many elements such as water and...
