Philae: Mission to Land on a Comet



NASA has published a video describing the mission of the Philae comet lander being carried by ESA's Rosetta spacecraft.  The press release seems to have all the text of the video, but the video does give some idea of the views that may be available from the lander.  If you want to skip the introductory material on comets, fast forward to about the 2 minute mark of the video.  You can read the press release and follow the video link at http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2012/02feb_rosetta/
