ROSETTA – THE COMET CHASE, FRANCE, 52 MIN., 2015

Directed: Jean-Christophe Ribot
January 2014. After a 10-year voyage, including more than two years into hibernation, Rosetta space probe will have to be woken up. In a few months, it will have reached its goal: the comet 67P, a large icy ball ejecting gas and dust. At 450 million kilometers from Earth a crucial and
thrilling stage in this European Space Agency (ESA) mission will then unfold, the first in the history of solar system exploration to attempt this double challenge: to place a probe in orbit around the comet. And to put the Philae lander on its surface. A scenario full of tension and emotion, worthy of a science fiction movie!
