Rosetta and Philae Mod

[hieywiey]

So there is one spacecraft that I haven't seen a dedicated mod for, and that is Rosetta and Philae. As most of you heard about (I'm pretty sure everyone on Earth and 67P has heard about it thanks to the #CometLanding on Twitter and other social media sites), Rosetta became the first spacecraft to orbit a comet on August 6th, 2014. Four months later, the tiny lander Philae was jettisoned in preparation for another first by Rosetta, landing on a comet. Philae first touched down on 67P on November 12th, 2014; but the harpoons designed to anchor Philae into the ground failed to fire. This caused Philae to bounce around 67P twice, Philae ended up landing in the shadow where it couldn't charge it's batteries.

This is somewhat self promotion but I'm working on Rosetta and Philae in my mod, it'll come after the Cargo Dragon and the IVA but here's some screenshots that I posted a while back.

I don't know about Rosetta and Philae mods, but your can find the 67P Churyuwhatever Gerasomething comet in this mod.
