Rosetta will approach the comet slowly

Rosetta will approach the comet slowly

The best way to measure the field of gravity around the comet ... is to get close. Acceleration and deceleration suffered betray the force of gravitation . The expected trajectory in the coming weeks is an original series of triangles, smaller and smaller and more and more close to the star. The maneuver will be the opposite side of the comet's tail to prevent the machine to receive a shower of dust and ice.

Then, once the known gravity, the "pilot" of the ESA Rosetta inject on a path that will make him go ellipses around Chury. The operation will start in September. They hope to approach the craft first and then 30 km to about 10 km and less. It was at this point that will begin the perilous mission of small Philae lander that will detach from the probe to go land on the comet.
