The Philae Comet lander is awake after 7 months of hibernation
June 14, 2015 6:22 AM Subscribe
ESA's comet lander is awake! ESA's Philae comet lander touched down but lost contact shortly after landing about 7 months ago. The comet it landed on has traveled closer to the sun, allowing the lander to charge it's battery enough to contact Earth. Huzzah!
I've gotta say NASA's doing an amazing job with the personification of all the little bleepers and bloopers they're shooting all over space. I got a little choked up when I read this this morning, thinking of the lonely little robot stuck in a freezing dark canyon way off in the cold confines of damn near the middle of nowhere. And I'm 41.

I can't handle all the space robot personification. I am way too much of a crouton-petter. I had to start avoiding the Philae story when it was shutting down and I'll probably keep avoiding it, which is annoying because the science is interesting, but I cannot handle the little robot all alone *sob*

I know you guys think this is exciting but I'm hear to remind you that it also kind of sounds like the beginning of a space horror film. Wait until the lander starts transmitting an incomprehensible signal that turns ESA's ground control into a nightmare zone of flesh eating lunatics.

Philae probably heard how long the Mars rovers have outdone their expected lifespans, and out of irritation it's been giving ESA the silent treatment --- sort of like toddler saying they'll hold their breath and turn blue. But, yeah: every toddler eventually has to breathe again.

From the BBC page:
Comet 67P is currently 205 million km (127 million miles) from the Sun, and getting closer.
It is due in August to get as close as 186 million km, before then sweeping back out into the outer Solar System.

Quite apart from the personification and the delight of the updated Twitter feeds and everything (which I'm a total sucker for), this is an incredible testament to the engineering skill of the ESA. Seven months in hard vacuum with a flat battery at incredibly low temperatures and Philae just woke up like it ain't nothing. I hope none of the hardware has been damaged and they manage to fulfil their full roster of experiments.

I had to start avoiding the Philae story when it was shutting down and I'll probably keep avoiding it, which is annoying because the science is interesting, but I cannot handle the little robot all alone *sob*During the Chernobyl disaster three divers were sent down to open the sluice gates to evacuate water from below the reactor and to avoid the biblical-level disaster that that would ensue if the reactor melted through the floor.
They knew they were going to die in horrible ways and still they dived.
So if we're going to personify space robots then shouldn't the best of humanity's traits be on the menu too?

It's been awake for a while, as there's apparently quite a lot of data to upload. Don't know how long that will take, as Rosetta's orbit regularly takes it out of Philae contact, but expect a lot of updates soon on where it is, what it's been doing and what it might do next.
I know that when it shut down in November - oh, that desperate watching the battery voltage! - and the controllers said that they had hope it would revive later, I had no great expectation that it would. The odds seemed slim. It was out of sunlight, nobody knew where, and nobody really knew how the comet would behave as it warmed up.
So, wow. What great news.

I think they're doing it rong. Philae isn't a cute little thing on a lonely never-ending journey on which it will never come home.
Philae is a brave explorer, who doesn't want to come home, ever, whose mission is to see and report and do so forever if it can. It's cut from the same cloth as Pioneer and Voyager, and if it could shoot out of the sun's gravity well on a long trip out into infinity it'd jump at the chance.

Philae should have had its last transmission end with "I'll be back."
Of course then we'd have to deal with multiple reboots and an evil lander made of liquid metal, so perhaps it's for the best.

we built robots?posted by yasaman at 10:41 AM on June 14, 2015 [46 favorites]
and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image
and maybe in a hundred years we won’t be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we’ll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won’t be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we’re people, too! you’re not alone any more!, maybe we’ll be gone
but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?
the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.
and they told us to tell you hello.
For those in the UK (or capable of being virtually here), the Sky at Night is on at 20:00 BST on BBC4 and will be an update on Rosetta. It was recorded and edited before the Philae news, but presenter Chris Lintott has been tweeting that they were re-editing a couple of hours before transmission. He's also done a web update via laptop cam.

They managed a very creditable edit on Sky at Night. The probe is being illuminated from the top, with that changing to a side over time. It's a good ten degrees warmer than it needs to be, and generating around twenty more watts than the minimum required.
Best bit so far is from the mass spectrometer experiment. Not only did the initial Philae bounce stir up lots of organics from the cometary surface that got analysed during the tumble, but the new location has completely different chemistry - so two for the price of one. Further, had Philae landed and stayed where it was aimed, it would have overheated after a month or so and exploded (that's what they said. Batteries, apparently). Now it's in a shady nook, it could well keep going all the way through perihelion and well out the other side, during the cometary shut-down.
So not only has the plucky little lander done lots more science in its initial hours than anyone expected, it's saved itself from splodydoom and is set fair to do a ton more work than planned. All through a trick shot that even Ronnie The Rocket could pull off.
Respect.

why the extreme cold is damaging?
In addition to the battery issue mentioned by BigCalm, some other components do not like temperature extremes. Electrolytic capacitors will freeze, and while it's possible to avoid using them it's very difficult to build certain kinds of power distribution systems without them. Semiconductors act differently. Joins like solder connections and the bonds which connect to integrated circuit chips can crack or otherwise misbehave in untested extremes.
All of NASA's Mars landers have had heaters for the electronics because of this. Sojourner, which was too small for a proper heater, had a RTG-like plutonium pellet to keep it warm. Curiosity of course has an actual RTG to power its heater. Spirit and Opportunity have electric heaters which run from the solar panels, and it's generally assumed that insufficient power for the electronics heater was what killed Spirit. It's the heater that gets the rover teams all nervous when Winter is approaching on Mars.
Philae probably gets some benefit from being in vacuum, with only its contact points on the asteroid able to suck heat out of it, but on the other hand it's been in the shade for months. It's pretty impressive that it woke up after all this time. Someone did some pretty good component selection and testing.

Well hope is one thing, flying a spaceship all over the solar system, catching a comet and shooting a robot at it, successfully is quite another. No one had any idea what kind of conditions to expect on a comet (well, cols, airless, inhospitable, but y'know)
The whole thing is staggeringly difficult and it looked like the last step had failed, so it's a delight to see the thing up and running.
They hadn't counted it out, no one thought this was impossible, but it wasn't all that likely.

Key word being 'hoping'. Months of extreme cold, flat batteries, unknowns about how much sun it would get and from what angle, all of those factors combined meant there was no real telling if it would wake up properly, or be functional if/when it came back into sunlight.
