On Dec 7 the full set of OSIRIS images (56 TB!) was again delivered to ESA's Planetary Science Archive. No new images but substantially improved scientific calibration and new derived products. The Rosetta OSIRIS scientific imaging system's legacy of its voyage to comet onboard the ESA Rosetta mission.

It will now be ingested into the public archive for everyone to use. Looking forward to what you will make out of it.

eight years ago, the Philae lander left the Rosetta spacecraft & headed towards the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Some of the rationale for this astonishing European Space Agency mission with its huge technological, operational, & scientific challenges is captured in the short sci-fi film we made with Platige Image, not least in the title: “Ambition”.

Such a privilege to have been involved with such an amazing team 🙇‍♂️
