Philae probe makes contact from second comet – Digital Journal Juarez

Berlin – The space probe Philae contacted a second time with Earth since waking from hibernation, but now delivered less data than in his first contact <. p> Sylvain Lodiot, COO of spacecraft Rosetta, the mother ship of Philae, reported Monday that the probe data packets sent five on Sunday night, the day after waking from a silence of seven months.

Philae became the first space device to land on a comet when it was deposited on the frozen surface of the celestial body 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko in November, but could only send data to Earth for about 60 hours before that its batteries ran out.

The scientists calculated that the probe would wake up when the comet approached the sun, allowing Philae solar panels absorb enough light to charge the main battery, which is filled the weekend.
