Video Simula: A 5-point guide to understanding

Astronomy will live an unprecedented day this Wednesday (12/11). For the first time in history, a spacecraft will attempt to land on a comet. The catheter Rosetta will release the Philae d moduleten years after launchThe confirmation of the success or failure of this feat will be known around 14 PM (Brasilia time). The mission is one of the most complicated ever undertaken in space and has created great anticipation in the scientific community. Rosetta probe approached Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in August of this year, becoming the first object to orbit a comet. Five possible landing sites were selected, all taking into account that the Philae module It needs six hours of sunlight daily to recharge its batteries. Researchers calculated that the chances of a successful landing were 70 to 75% — if the celestial body had a simpler shape. The irregular shape, however, reduced the scientists' optimism: currently, the European Space Agency (ESA in English) estimates the chances of success at 50%. A ESA even made a video to simulate what the landing attempt will be like at the beginning. Check out:  The main challenge to the mission's success is the comet's uneven surface. To make matters worse, the gravity on the comet is very low. The Philae module will descend with little speed and stick a harpoon into the ground to maintain its position. If it falls, there is no way to get it back up. In addition to a lot of technique, it will take luck!
