Rosetta has caught up with 67P-Churyumov-Gerasimenko |
Europe's Rosetta probe has arrived at a comet
after a 10-year chase.
In a first for
space history, the spacecraft was manoeuvred alongside a speeding body to begin
mapping its surface in detail.
The spacecraft fired its thrusters for six and a
half minutes to finally catch up with comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
