The Philae (fee-LAY) lander is scheduled to touch down on Comet
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on November 12, 2014 at 10:35 a.m.
EST (15:35 UTC). We on Earth – 300 million miles (500 million km)
away – won’t know the lander has set down successfully until a
signal is received back at about 11:02 a.m. EST (16:02 UTC).
Both NASA and ESA will provide live online coverage of this
first-ever attempted landing on a comet.
