Philae's adventure seen by ROMAP

Member of the institute and co-principal investigator of the ROMAP-instrument Uli Auster witnessed Philae's separation, descent and touchdowns in November at first hand.

For instance, some significant structures in the time lines suggest that Philae might have grazed surface structures of the comet during the first bounce.
