(TF) I've tried in Kerbal and failed miserably... Poor Jebediah...

[TF] There are actually lots of us here in ESA ;)

I for one have some poor Kerbals stranded on the surface of Duna :(

TF + ME: In our opinion (from Orbiter perspective) that thing is pretty awesome as it is. It stayed 10 years in space and still works like a charm with tech from the 90s!

However, we think the most progress could be achieved by having faster processors and more storage space. Especially with components getting lighter we could add more instruments.

Welcome to our AMA! We have a team ready to answer and we are really looking forward to this event... Will now ask the ESA & DLR participants to begin answering

The Narrow Angle Camera from the OSIRIS is the instrument that is more likely to find Philae. In December we will orbit in 20km circular orbits where the pixel size corresponds to ~40 cm. Additionally, the Sun will lit more and more the lower lattitudes of 67P in the comming months. RP
