摘要

The hop, skip and jump of Rosetta's Philae lander last November curtailed some of the mission's ambition. Philae did sample gases coming off comet 67P during its acrobatic surface crossing, but its resting place in a dark crevasse meant it ran out of power before it could drill out a solid chunk. Getting such a sample would be crucial to determining 67P's exact make-up. The hope is that Philae will revive as 67P gets closer to the sun, strengthening the sliver of sunlight that is reaching its solar panels. "The spacecraft engineers do not seem pessimistic about it, so I think there is a good chance Philae will wake up," says Ian Wright of the UK's Open University. Rosetta is keeping a watchful eye on its lander, and according to Stephan Ulamec, the lander's manager, a wake-up call is most likely to happen this month or next. "We might only be a short time from being able to do that rather than having to wait 20 years for a follow-on mission," says Wright.
