Philae Lander on Comet 67P | ESA
Very close to the left hand edge of this image in the top half, is a thin vertical line with a broad top. This is one of Philae’s three legs sticking up from behind an obscuring boulder, illustrating the difficulty in spotting the European Space Agency's lander on the comet’s chaotic surface.

The scale of the image is 4.6 cm/pixel, with Philae’s foot estimated to be about 2.5 km away when Rosetta’s OSIRIS narrow-angle camera took the image on August 30, 2016. The contrast of the image has been stretched to reveal Philae’s foot against the shadowed background.

Landing on Mars | NASA Langley
NASA Langley researchers are experts in modeling and simulations for entry, descent and landing (EDL), working on missions since the Viking lander in 1976. In this episode, we explore the challenges of guiding landers like Mars InSight through the Martian atmosphere for a safe landing.
