Rosetta space probe on a unique travel destination

The European space probe Rosetta has finally reached its target comet.

Even via Live Stream could the many space enthusiasts in Europe - in Austria, not least at the Institute for Space Research in Graz - on Wednesday cheer at the crucial moment. Up by almost 11.30 clock finally came the redeeming message. "We are on the comet," announced the European Space Agency.

The Rosetta spacecraft, which is on the way to their destination for the past ten years, has finally made it. She has moved closer to its target comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko on Wednesday to 100 kilometers and will now accompany him for a year in orbit. The approximately one billion expensive mission is unique in history.
