The exciting journey to the unexplored comet

Raumsonde Rosetta (German)

Ten years of flying through space and only one destination: landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in November 2014. Europe's Rosetta space probe is to explore this unknown world of dust, stone and ice for the first time in human history. Does the water on Earth come from comets? Are they even responsible for the origin of life? No one yet knows what secrets these "dirty snowballs" are hiding.
