On a comet 10 years away word count: 200
The Philae is a very special remote controlled space vehicle to make a soft landing on a comet. This thing flew over 6.4 billion miles to get to where it is now. It's journey took over ten years to get there. The lander has some problems with its battery dying. The lander did not land where it was suppose to land at and instead of the solar panels getting seven hours of light per comet day but instead it's getting only 1.5 hours of light per comet day. The lander is still trying to give as munch data as it can send. The lander has remained silent for some time now, however they are trying to fix out how to give it more light without the batteries dying in the process. One guy is tweeting stuffed it would say to remain optimistic in my opinion. They have been on this project for a long time even with the decease in photos and research they are still satisfied with the information they got from the lander.
