Wakey Wakey!

Yay! Philae has woken up!



Yesterday ESA was able to contact Philae and download data and status information via Rosetta.

Sounds like Philae is in good shape to do more comet science (after a 7 month nap, it should!) So excited to learn more about 67P from ground level.

What is it about this 'little' 100kg cubic robot that provokes such warmth and affection?



Probably the adorable cartoons.
