Rosetta

Rosetta — spacecraft, explore its interactive 3D model in Cosmoscope.

Explore Rosetta in a 3D Solar System. Follow its published mission trajectory and inspect its distance and spacecraft facts.

Rosetta chased down and orbited a comet, dropped the Philae lander onto its surface, then gently crash-landed itself to end a twelve-year odyssey.

Launched

Status

Mission ended 2016 — landed on comet 67P

Explore Rosetta in 3D

Explore Rosetta along its published mission trajectory in the 3D Solar System. The model uses the available ephemeris interval; historical missions are not active spacecraft and extrapolations beyond an ephemeris interval are approximate.
