Scientists at the European Space Agency are making final preparations to land the first spacecraft on a comet next week.
The launch of a small Lander from ESA’s Rosetta space probe marks one of the key moments in the decade- long mission to examine comet 67P/Churyumov- Gerasimenko. ESA scientists said that the Lander, dubbed Philae, will be released at 8.35am on Wednesday. If all goes according to plan, the 100kg Lander will latch onto the comet’s icy surface seven hours later
