Philae's Historic Comet Landing Celebrated on 10th Anniversary

A decade after its groundbreaking touchdown on Comet 67P, Philae's mission continues to shape our understanding of the solar system.

Philae was the first human-made object to land on a comet, achieving this feat on November 12, 2014, after a 10-year journey.
Despite harpoon failures causing multiple bounces, Philae collected significant data during its brief operational period on the comet.
The lander discovered organic compounds on Comet 67P, offering insights into the early solar system's building blocks for life.
Philae's instruments provided unprecedented measurements of the comet's surface temperature and seismic properties.
The Rosetta mission, which deployed Philae, paved the way for future comet exploration, including the upcoming Comet Interceptor mission.
