Touchdown Philae on Comet 67P by DLR published on 2014-11-20T13:56:03Z Download: http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10081/151_read-12221/#/gallery/17248 SESAME experiment CASSE records sound of first landing A short but significant 'thud' was heard by the Cometary Acoustic Surface Sounding Experiment (CASSE) as Philae made its first touchdown on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The two-second recording from space is the very first of the contact between a man-made object with a comet upon landing. The CASSE sensors are located in the feet at the base of all three legs of the lander and were active on 12 November 2014 during the descent to the comet. http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10081/151_read-12221/#/gallery/17248 Credit: ESA/Rosetta/Philae/SESAME/DLR (CC BY-SA IGO 3.0) ---------------------------------------------- Deutsch SESAME-Instrument CASSE zeichnet Geräusch der ersten Landung auf Es ist ein kurzer, aber bedeutender "Rumms", den das Instrument CASSE bei der ersten Landung von Philae auf dem Kometen Churyumov-Gerasimenko aufzeichnete - das Zwei-Sekunden-Stück aus dem All dokumentiert nicht weniger als den allerersten Bodenkontakt eines menschengemachten Objekts mit einem Kometen. Die Sensoren sitzen in allen drei Füßen des Landers und lauschten am 12. November 2014 bereits im Anflug auf den Kometen. http://www.dlr.de/dlr/de/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10081/151_read-12221/#/gallery/17248 Credit: ESA/Rosetta/Philae/SESAME/DLR (CC BY-SA IGO 3.0) Genre SoundOfScience Comment by Вера Запорожец WoW 2020-04-17T20:43:50Z Comment by The Interplanetary Podcast Love this! 2016-07-29T17:39:35Z Comment by Domestic Science We're proud of you, Philae! 2014-12-14T13:51:53Z Comment by Lelial Thibodeau That is very satisfying, indeed. 2014-11-24T06:45:38Z Comment by Argeen Can I use it on the track? :D 2014-11-21T11:26:25Z Comment by Ale Picchio Fiumerozzo huiahuaiahiuhuiahuiahiuihuahiua LOL 2014-11-21T10:26:22Z Comment by G.

Interstellar had one on board and no problems with absent air ! 2014-11-20T22:50:04Z Comment by damaex touchdown for science! 2014-11-20T20:35:31Z Comment by Daniel Nagelhout The sound isn't traveling through the air. It's the vibrations that travel through the feet of the lander that you're hearing. These vibrations are converted into sound. 2014-11-20T17:03:29Z Comment by Ryan Karl How was this audible in the vaccum of space? 2014-11-20T16:46:56Z Comment by Chris Wiggs That's quite a crunch. 2014-11-20T15:35:42Z Comment by Brian Anderegg I kind of expected a comic "Sproing" noise, followed by a quiet "...shit..." 2014-11-20T15:21:02Z
