TitleComets and their origin: The Tool to Decipher A Comet
Author(s)Uwe Meierhenrich (ed.)
PublicationVerlag, John Wiley and Sons, 2014.
Abstract NoteDivided into two parts, the first four chapters of Comets and their Origin refer to comets and their formation in general, describing cometary missions, comet remote observations, astrochemistry, artificial comets, and the chirality phenomenon. The second part covers the cometary ROSETTA mission, its launch, journey, scientific objectives, and instrumentations, as well as the landing scenario on a cometary nucleus. Along the way, the author presents general questions concerning the origin of terrestrial water and the molecular beginnings of life on Earth, as well as how the instruments used on a space mission like ROSETTA can help answer them. The text concludes with a chapter on what scientists expect from the ROSETTA mission and how its data will influence our life on Earth. As a result, the author elucidates highly topical and fascinating knowledge to scientists and students of various scientific backgrounds, allowing them to work with ROSETTA's data.

TitleROSETTA: ESA's mission to the origin of the solar system
Author(s)Rita Schulz (ed.);Claudia Alexander (ed.);Hermann Boechnhardt (ed.);Karl-Heinz Glassmeier (ed.)
PublicationNew York, Springer, 2009.
Descriptionxlvi, 785p.
Abstract NoteROSETTA: ESA's Mission to the Origin of the Solar System is the first book of its kind on ESA’s Planetary Cornerstone Mission, Rosetta, that discusses the science and instrumentation involved. Comets consist of the most primitive material in the solar system. An in depth study of this material could provide us with the knowledge to understand the earliest epoch of the solar system’s formation. Until now, our knowledge of comets has come from Earth-based telescopes and fly-by missions. Rosetta will be the first ever spacecraft to rendezvous with a comet and go in orbit around the nucleus. It will stay there for over one year, in order to study the comet’s evolution. Rosetta will also land on the surface of the comet with its Lander Philae to perform dedicated in-situ analysis of the comet nucleus composition and structure. The Rosetta mission is an ambitious one that is poised to make a dramatic advance in our understanding of comets, and the origin of our solar system.
