QUOTE (SpaceScout @ Sep 23 2014, 04:14 PM) Great information, thank you!!

ROLIS will take nadir images all the way down from the separation to landing and I am sure the images will be of high scientific values, but as I am reading in the document, the images will be uplinked to Rosetta only after touchdown. Was there no way to transmit the images as quickly as possible, without waiting for the landing?

Dear SpaceScout, thank you for your kind comments.

Considering the great involvement of Germany in this mission, I should have put the timeschedule in German also, but my writing with Goethe's style is somewhat shaky : all my apologizes !

Yes, Phil is right : ESA does not want to interefere through the instructions with the transmitting of data during the landing phase. Sorry : so we will have to wait for the ROLIS images after a safe landing on the nucleus.
