Interview with Andrea Accomazzo
summary
Rosetta mission overview focuses on concrete operational facts: rendezvous and orbit insertion at a fast‑moving comet, Philae lander carries 11 instruments on the lander but returns limited sample data, mission software and ground systems evolve over two decades to handle electric propulsion tests and a 45‑meter antenna link, operations cope with a measured 3 millisecond timing drift in activity windows, and navigation, comms protocols and modem conversion to digital were the practical challenges that determine success or failure.
