The European space Agency announced the end of the mission to study the comet with the spacecraft “Rosetta” probe “FILA”.

The spacecraft Rosetta has completed its twelve-year mission to study comet 67P/Churyumov — Gerasimenko.

Night probe changed its trajectory and began to move toward the surface of the comet, in orbit, where he spent the last two years.

The European space Agency will receive data on its landing about 40 minutes later, given the time it takes for the signal reached Earth.

“What could be better than to kill Rosetta than her last kiss with a comet?”, said Jean-Yves Le gall, President of the National centre for space studies in France.
