Rosetta has been exploring comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko since summer 2014. In November 2014, the Philae lander landed on the surface of the comet. The first measurements by the scientific instruments allow conclusions to be drawn about the formation of small bodies in the early phase of solar system formation, cometary activity and the importance of comets for the existence of water on Earth.
