Because of the comet\u2019s extremely low gravity, landing gear will absorb the small forces of landing while ice screws in the probe\u2019s feet and a harpoon system will lock the probe to the surface. At the same time a thruster on top of the lander will push it down to counteract the impulse of the harpoon imparted in the opposite direction. Once it is anchored to the comet, the lander will begin its primary science mission, based on its 64-hour initial battery lifetime. The animation then shows five of Philae\u2019s 10 instruments in action: CIVA, ROLIS, SD2, MUPUS and APXS. Rosetta\u2019s Philae lander is provided by a consortium led by DLR, MPS, CNES and ASI.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Credit: ESA<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 5px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ESA dixit:Rosetta will come to within about 10 km of the nucleus to deploy Philae, which will take several hours to reach the surface.
