ROSETA END-OF-MISSION
DARMSTADT, GERMANY
30 SEPTEMBER 2016

Rosetta is set to complete its mission in a controlled descent to the surface of its comet on 30 September.

The mission is coming to an end as a result of the Comet and the spacecraft’s ever-increasing distance from the Sun and Earth. It is heading out towards the orbit of Jupiter, resulting in significantly reduced solar power to operate the craft and its instruments, and a reduction in bandwidth available to downlink scientific data.

After consultation with Rosetta’s science team, it was decided that Rosetta would follow its lander Philae down onto the comet.

The final hours of descent will enable Rosetta to make many once-in-a-lifetime measurements, including very-high-resolution imaging, boosting Rosetta’s science return with precious close-up data achievable only through such a unique conclusion.

Communications will cease, however, once the orbiter reaches the surface, and its operations will then end. This final event will be retransmitted live by ESA TV.
30 September will mark the end of spacecraft operations, but the beginning of the phase where the full focus of the teams will be on science. That is what the Rosetta mission was launched for and there are years of work ahead, thoroughly analysing its data.

Rosetta’s operators began changing the trajectory this summer ahead of the grand finale such that a series of elliptical orbits will take it progressively nearer to the comet at its closest point.
