Rosetta probe heads for comet
Europe's Rosetta spacecraft has launched successfully and is now heading into space on its daring journey to chase and land on a comet....Rosetta is primed for a 7bn-km journey to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
Once in orbit around the mountainous ball of ice and dust in 2014, the craft will despatch a small lander to the comet's surface to study its chemistry.
