Posted on 07/11/2014 by Daniel Below you'll find a timeline of the most crucial activities related to separation, descent and landing on 11 and 12 November. What does Philae do during descent? Credit: ESA/ATG medialab It has been compiled with inputs from the Flight Control Team at ESOC and the Science Operations Team at ESAC and is accurate as of now.

PLEASE remember: many of these times are subject to change and confirmation, given the extremely dynamic nature of this delicate and complex operation. We'll do our best to update this as we receive firm information, but on 12 November the live webcasts from ESA TV and ESA's social media accounts (Twitter!) Will be the best ways to get the latest information. Admittedly, this timeline is a little dense, but we thought it better to provide more detail for those who – like us! Review the notes/legend underneath for acronyms (no space mission can succeed without them!). All times are subject to change and should not be assumed confirmed.
