Rosetta: Journey to a Comet

The Rosetta mission, launched by ESA, embarked on a journey to study comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The spacecraft utilized gravity assists from Earth and Mars to reach its target, passing through the asteroid belt and conducting scientific observations. In 2014, Rosetta entered orbit around the comet, and the Philae lander descended to its surface to perform experiments. The mission aimed to analyze primordial matter, providing insights into the solar system's formation.
