#PHILAE

I recently unpacked a box I packed seven years and two moves ago and found my 2014 Arthur C. Clarke Foundation award for the ESA Rosetta mission. It brought back some good memories.

Rencontre avec le temple d'Isis initialement bâti sur l'île de Philæ et déplacé sur l'île voisine d'Aguilkia pour éviter sa submersion lors de la construction du barrage d'Assouan.
Je vous passe l'heure et demi à négocier le prix du bateau pour y accéder 😊.

Temple of Isis initially built on the island of Philæ and moved to the neighboring island of Aguilkia to avoid its submersion during the construction of the Assouan dam.
I spend one hour and a half to negotiate the price of the boat to access it 😊.

A lovely moment from my #Egypt trip. This was #Philae #Temple.

#travel #vacation #cruise #Nile
Photo looking through a narrow arch of a temple ruin. Behind the arch is a low foundation where once was a building. The sun shines across the flat stone, but doesn't reach me standing in the shadow of the arch. Behind the ruins lies the blue Nile water and not far away is a tiny island made entirely weird rock formations. Above the water is the blue sky which is not quite as blue as the Nile water. The scene looks calm and peaceful.

I have titled this project "The Invaders." It’s a collection of freeform three-dimensional interpretations of landers (machines designed to land on the surface of a celestial body) created by space agencies.

The models are closer to a DIY project than a symbol of high technology. They serve as a reminder to put our sense of triumph or progress into perspective and reconnect with the fragility of our human condition.

This craft draws inspiration from the design of Philae, the ESA lander that embarked in 2015 to explore comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

This image depicts an archaeological site with ancient Egyptian structures. The scene shows a row of tall, cylindrical columns forming what appears to be the remains of a colonnade or entranceway leading into larger temple-like buildings in the background. These large edifices have intricate hieroglyphic carvings on their walls and are constructed from stone blocks. Some pillars still stand intact while others lie broken around them. The site is surrounded by dry, dusty ground with scattered bricks and stones indicating excavation or decay over time.

In the distance beyond these ruins, palm trees and a serene landscape can be seen under what appears to be a hazy sky, suggesting an arid environment possibly indicative of desert surroundings typical for ancient Egyptian sites like Philae. The overall impression is one of historical grandeur now in states various degrees of preservation or ruin. This particular print was likely produced by the Photoglob Company and captured during roughly 1890-1910 period, reflecting early photographic techniques used to preserve images from such archaeological explorations at that time.

Third, Facebook's 2014 summary video, also featuring the scene in the ESOC MCR when touched down on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 12 November that year. There is also a short animation showing the landing.

As with the Google video, this comes at the end of the sequence, underlining the event as one of the major global highlights of that year.

Second & also from Google, the 2014 edition of their annual Year in Search video.

The full thing is 1m32s & pride of place is given to & at the end, featuring part of our science fiction film about mission, "Ambition", the scenes in the ESOC Main Control Room in Darmstadt on 12 November, & a voice-over from NASA's Jim Green.

ten years ago, the end-of-2014 summaries from several of the big social media providers featured the history-making first landing on a comet by the ESA/DLR/CNES/ASI spacecraft, part of ESA's iconic mission.

It's not often that you make that kind of global impact with a space mission & it's something I remain deeply proud & privileged to have been a part of.

Here's the first, the :

A decade later this remains an amazing feat. Congrats to all involved.

"On 12 November 2014, after a ten-year journey through the Solar System and over 500 million kilometres from home, ’s lander made space exploration history by touching down on a comet for the first time. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of this extraordinary feat, we celebrate by taking a look back over the mission's highlights."

Vandaag 10 jaar geleden sailing-dulce.nl/home/article- #braininternalaffairs #Philae Woensdag 19-11-2014 In een fotoboek bij haar moeder vond Ans de foto hierboven. Hij werd gemaakt in 1992, toen ik haar leerde kennen tijdens de kunstmanifestatie BRAIN/InternalAffairs in de oudbouw van het Beatrixziekenhuis. Ze draagt het medewerkerspasje op haar shirt. Mooie meid op haar 42ste, nietwaar? Dat vind ik nog steeds (nee, géén 'teiltje alstublieft'). Grappig, ik wist niet meer dat ze toen kort haar had..

Vandaag 10 jaar geleden sailing-dulce.nl/home/article- #schroefas #Philae Zondag 16-11-2014 Een trieste regendag. We komen de deur niet uit. Ik ben wat brak van gisteren. Ans voelt zich grieperig. Ik heb nog niet vermeld dat ik deze week een email van Fons kreeg, naar aanleiding van de foto van de touwflosjes in onze schroefaskoker. Niet laten zitten!, waarschuwt hij. Omdat onze schroefas watergesmeerd wordt, is er een risico dat de toevloed van water geblokkeerd wordt. 'Dan kan het lager verbranden..

Vandaag 10 jaar geleden sailing-dulce.nl/home/article- #prostaatkanker #PSA #grothendieck #Philae Vrijdag 14-11-2014 Op de website van de Nederlandse Kankerregistratie staan nieuwe cijfers over de 5-jaarsoverleving van o.a. prostaatkanker na het stellen van de diagnose. In de periode 2008 - 2012 zijn die ruim 15% verbeterd ten opzichte van de voorgaande periode. Van de patiënten is 89% na vijf jaar nog in leven. Bemoedigend! Ik heb het er zelden of nooit over, maar overleven, dat is toch waar je mee..

🎂 Le 12 novembre 2014, #Philae devenait le premier objet à atterrir sur une comète. L’atterrissage ne s’étant pas complètement passé comme prévu, Philae avait malheureusement cessé d’émettre après 56 h de fonctionnement.
Une des plus grandes réussites du spatial européen !

How we made history by landing on a comet




Video: 00:09:09

On 12 November 2014, after a ten-year journey through the Solar System and over 500 million kilometres from home, Rosetta’s lander Philae made space exploration history by touching down on a comet for the first time. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of this extraordinary feat, we celebrate by taking a look back over the mission's highlights.

Rosetta was an ESA mission with contributions from its Member States and NASA. It studied Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for over two years, including delivering lander Philae to the comet’s surface. Philae was provided by a consortium led by DLR, MPS, CNES and ASI.
