Rosetta set to launch Lander for touchdown tomorrow November 11, 2014 2:43 pm SteveS

It’s been 10 years and the time has come to put the first working probe on a comet.

We are now in the final hours before Rosetta’s Philae lander is released to attempt a first-ever landing on a comet. At 9:03 GMT (1:03 AM PST) on Wednesday, November 12, 2014, Philae will be released and directed towards the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. 7 hours later, the lander will touch down.

Hopefully we will get some images Thursday.

Godspeed Philae!
