Rosetta spacecraft.
Sleeping comet-chaser
sends its first signal
home: ‘Hello world!’
A comet-chasing space probe
that has been in hibernation
for almost three years has
woken up and sent its first
signal back to Earth.
The European Space
Agency received the all-clear
message “Hello World!” from
its Rosetta spacecraft some
800 million kilometres away
shortly after 7 p.m. Monday
(1800 GMT; 1 p.m. EST).
Rosetta was put into
hibernation in 2011 to con-
serve energy for its long jour-
ney to meet with comet 67P/
Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
If all goes as planned, the
probe will rendezvous with
the comet in the coming
months and drop a lander
onto its icy surface in
November. An artist’s impression of Rosetta.
