    • Description

      This transmission is the third in a series of four TV exchanges on Rosetta's new mission, and features the challenge to develop a lander to attach itself onto a comet, a small body of ice and dust, after a travel of nearly eleven years through interplanetary space.
      The programme comprises of a 5 minute A-roll with split track and commentary and is complemented by a B-roll with clean international sound.

      Schiphol Airport, near Amsterdam, September 2002. The Rosetta
      spacecraft prepared for its last terrestrial journey to the launch site at
      Kourou in French Guiana.
      10:00:53
      After intensive final months of assembly and technical checks, ESA's
      comet chaser was ready. Expectations were high with an Ariane 5 launch
      scheduled but a few months away.
      10:01:07
      But when doubts arose about the launcher, the Rosetta lift-off in January
      2003 had to be postponed. The spacecraft waited in Kourou whilst a new
      cometary target was found. In November last year, work started again
      preparing it for a February 2004 count-down.
      10:01:30
      The revised mission scenario is even more ambitious. After being released
      by Ariane 5, Rosetta will embark on a ten-year journey.
