Replay of ESA TV transmission covering the uplink of Rosetta’s last commands at 08:00 GMT / 10:00 CEST on 30 September.
Based on navigation camera images taken shortly after last night’s collision manoeuvre, the commands determine the final ‘pointing’ of the spacecraft and therefore the expected impact time to within 2 minutes. With commentary from mission experts at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany.
