How the Rosetta spacecraft will conclude its historic mission on Comet 67P/C-G
In short: With the Rosetta mission nearing its conclusion, specialists are debating the scheduled landing on Comet 67P/C-G and the anticipated scientific findings from this epic end.
The spacecraft is scheduled to complete its mission through a controlled descent to the comet's surface on 30 September. Experts anticipate collecting images and scientific data as the craft moves closer to the surface.
The end of the mission is predicted to occur within 20 minutes of 11:20 UTC on that day. This follows the significant discovery of the Philae lander earlier in the month.
