I know there's a programme on Discovery about the journey to this Comet, I've just recorded it.
But,
But having done some looking around, I seem unable to find a live feed and the date seems to be scheduled for Tuesday 1130pm ish with a signal back here on Earth at 830am following morning.
Scanning Discovery just seems to give reruns of tonight's programme..
Anyone know if there's a live (ish) feed on the tele??
Ta
Marvellous, ta
Are we all set to watch this then?
Yes,will Bruce Willis make an appearance ?
Meh, I think I will watch Armageddon instead.
edit: Puts fasthaggis on the list.
Thanks for reminding me, almost forgot about this.
Any body watched one of these things before? I'm under no illusion that I'm going to see a real time live HD feed of the probe landing on the surface but is it just a lot of waiting around waiting for a confirmation message from the probe or is there other interesting stuff going on?
Maybe some dancing girls or monkey who can juggle?
Well I stayed up all night for the first moon landing but I may pass on this one. Good science though.
Probably leave [url= http://rosetta.esa.int/ ]the esa Rosetta page[/url] open in my classroom tomorrow. Includes the livestream but might offer a bit more background. Separation af 8:30 in the morning which is remarkably civilised! No idea how long the descent will take though...
Esa's Rosetta satellite will drop the probe on to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from an altitude of 20km.
If all goes to plan, the little robot, called Philae, will touch down about seven hours later, deploying screws and harpoons to secure its position.
That's a leisurely trip then.
Will it be sponsored by Redbull?
bloody OB vans everywhere 😉
No idea how long the descent will take though
About 7 hours iirc.
bloody OB vans everywhere
Annoying isn't it, might have to go to the pub for lunch tomorrow.
was taking some photos of ZDF setting up
the guy told me to go inside and take a photo there too 🙂
oh and live stream here is broken, but might just be Deutsche Telekom incapable of handling live videos in the evening.

complete time line is there
Separation af 8:30 in the morning which is remarkably civilised!
that's quite rare for Rosetta.
so touchdon at 4pm?
cool, can watch detachment with kimbers jr b4 nursery then touchdown later!
Just had a look at the live feed, and it appears a giant hand has taken over the control room.
Still "go" despite a thruster failure.
Due to be released any time now.
its all automated now, so it should be done before we know about it !
Crazy shirt!

Elvis lives!
I think its landed, they all just got a bit excited in the control room
Looks like separation has been successful, then.

Hours to go until we find out if all the decimal points are in the right place.
Doh. Oh well, I will tune in later then.
2hrs before next real update/landing - so thats approx 11am. The livestream reminds me of the Eurovision song contest coverage, the good news is there is no Terry Wogan
I was hoping they were listening to that music in the control room!
It is very exciting stuff. What an astounding achievement. I do hope they can cope with it all, though Hawaiian shirt man may end up like this
Seems I was wrong about landing time, it not 11 but more like 4 as posted above 😳

if it goes wrong...
I just want to make it clear that I didn't work on that bit 😉
There was more TV crew here for the Cassini/Huygens landing event. Notably the BBC in a much bigger way.
Can't believe no one has posted this yet....

did they all go for lunch?
how very european
edit: sweet, im off out on the bike for a couple of hours, see you here for touchdown at 4
(followed by countdown at four thirty?)
Just over an hour to go.

XKCD is doing a live update:

oh and live stream here is broken
This any better?
http://www.sciencealert.com/watch-comet-landing-live
just about to go live to they are saying. are we getting live video of the landing?
graham, that link is working great.
The BBC are streaming it too
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/science-environment-29985988
Man on the moon!
Anyone else singing along?
.... it's not very exciting considering what's [hopefully] happening!
think we DDoS'ed our own network.
not sure what you can actually see (delayed) live. hopefully photos of a comet.
certainly impressed by the osiris images, and the lander photos of the orbiter when still attached.

video stream of people looking at computer monitors and pointing.
he's ordering pizza now
It'll be about two hours later that we get pics I understood (if successful!)
not looking happy - maybe the batteries have run out
I think he's about to play the five tones
Pizza place has run out of pepperoni.

It's ESA so no imperial measuring Yankies to mess it up.
I feel like a kid again in the back seat of the car "Are we there yet?"
Edit: Lots of smiling faces on the live feed.
[quote=rickmeister ]BBC link working..
It's about 15 seconds behind. Maybe to allow for any swearing to be edited?
haha. there are Yankie bits on there 😉 (at least on the orbiter)
this isnt like the movies where 4 or 5 Hot scientists push buttons at the the last seconds to avoid a catastrophe!
so, do we think anything will happen before 5pm? 😆
They are phoning for International Rescue now.
TOUCHDOWN!!
its downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
yay
Cool 🙂
Makes accessing your PC remotely seem a bit naf really!
waayheeyy! 😀 guessing that ment success!
WTF? I have a view of an office... No sound!?

****ing BT lost my Internet.
Hope the landed on the right one 🙂
Team America are better
oh no they think it floated off?
Bet its a staged thing, just like the last moon landings... its all happening in a secret underground volcano theatre..
I've been helping out but it's pretty tricky:

They look happy, looks like successful landing
Feed is down 🙁
seems its all good, and its anchored.
Definitely confirmed lander is on the surface
heard clapping from the next room, and my office neighbour said somehting about the legs and harpoons working.
Ha ha at last! Well done meister
dunno how long it takes for first images.
and my contact is probably in a control room (although he's the guy that does the orbiter images)
First pic! oh god no....

I do the orbiter images
