Video: How Philae got its name
The Rosetta mission to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was launched in 2004. Up until then, the comet lander Philae still had no name. In this video, Serena Olga Vismara tells the story of how she named the comet lander in 2004 when she was 15 years old and how she became a Space Engineering Student at the University of Milan – where she planned to finish her studies in November 2014, exactly when Philae was scheduled to land on the comet.
