Philae na kometi, nastavak avanture / Philae on the comet, the adventure continues

Prije nekoliko minuta objavljeno je nekoliko zanimljivih tweet-ova na Twetter nalozima vezanim za Rosetta misiju. Objavljena je fotografija uslikana na mjestu sletanja Philae landera te neki podaci oko sletanja landera. Između ostaloga izgleda da je lander odskočio nekoliko puta po sljetanju. Međutim i pored pomenutih problema lander izgleda za sada funkcioniše dobro o čemu ova fotografija svjedoči. Za sada još nema informacija kako će nestabilnost landera prouzročena kvarom uređaja za sidrenje (harpuna) uticati na funkciju sonde. Nadam se da ćemo imati više informacija tokom dana.

Before few minutes on Twitter accounts associated with Rosetta missions we got some new information about the fate of the lander Philae. It looks like the lander is functioning well as the first picture from landing site suggests. On the other hand it looks like that lander had preformed at least three bounces across the surface due to the failure of anchoring devices (harpoons). At present there are no information how this anchoring failure will affect the mission. i hope we will have some more information during the day.

Ja ću i dalje pratiti protok informacija i ažurirati ovaj blog post kako nove vjesti budu dolazile.

I will continue to monitor news feed and update this blog post as new information are available.

Update 1

Prema podacima sa bloga Rosetta Operations, kontakt sa landerom je uspostavlje oko 06:01 UTC, u početku nestabilan ali kasnije dovoljno dobar da lander počne sa slanjem podataka. Kontakt je ponovo izgubljen oko 09:58 UTC što je predviđeno jer je sonda ponovo zašla iza horizonta. Prema informacijama sonda će biti u kontaktu sa landerom dva puta dnevno po nekoliko sati kako bude obilazila oko komete.

As per info from official Rosetta Operations blog the contact with lander was made at 06:01 UTC this morning, unstable at first but later good enough to transmit data from lander. The contact was lost again at 09:58 as Rosetta probe went below the comet horizon. The contact with lander will occure twice per day as Rosetta probe orbits the comet.

Update 2

Današnji media briefing, direkni link: link: http://new.livestream.com/ESA/cometlanding/videos/67965864

Media briefing from today, direct link: http://new.livestream.com/ESA/cometlanding/videos/67965864

Daklen izgleda da lander stoji nagnut na površini i u sjenci i da ne dobija dovoljno energije što će uticati na ispitivanja koja će lander moći obavljati. S druge strane ESA planira pokušati ispraviti lander tako da se mogu obaviti sva moguća ispitivanja. Lander je 2 puta odskočio od površine i sada se nalazi nekoliko stotina metara od planiranog mjesta sletanja (crvena kockoca), vjerovatno na obroncima obližnjeg kratera (plavi romboid).

What is known until now is that lander is tilted and in shadow and it is not receiving enough energy from the Sun. This condition will affect how much science ESA will be able to preform on surface. But on the other hand ESA is planning to try to erect the lander properly during following hours to place it in better position. As it is, lander bounced 2 times off surface landing several hundred meters off planed landing site (red square) into shallow nearby crater (blue diamond shaped mark).

Ova posljednja slika ocrtava panoramu oko landera i vjerovatan položaj samog landera. primjetiti će te da jedna fotografija, gornja pokazuje samo nebo.

The next picture shows panoramic image and position of the lander within it. You can notice that upper photo shows just sky.

U svakom slučaju možemo očekivati neke novosti tokom idućih sati. Za detalje pogledajte medija briefing video iznad.

In any case we can expect more information in the following hours. For details you can check the above briefing video.

Update 3, last for today

Najavljena je nova konferencija za štampu, sjutra oko 13:00 GMT. i dalje ću pratiti situaciju i adekvatno ažurirati blog.

A new press conference was announced for tomorrow around 13:00 GMT. I will continue to follow the events and will update my blog accordingly.

U međuvremenu evo jedne zanimljive mape na kojoj se mogu pronaći imena svih država i kompanija koje učestvuju u misiji ili su učestvovale u izradi Rosetta sonde.

In the meantime here is an interesting map showing all countries and companies whom are or were involved with the mission.

Thanks for reading this blog and cya tomorrow.
