The Rosetta Mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA), was one of the most ambitious space exploration missions. Its goal was to chase, study, and finally land on a comet named 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
The launch took place on March 2, 2004, using an Ariane 5 rocket from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana. After a ten-year journey through the solar system, Rosetta arrived at its destination in 2014.
Rosetta carried a lander named Philae, which made the first successful landing on a comet's surface. This mission provided invaluable data about the building materials of our solar system!
