Abstract: | As a part of ESA's cornerstone mission ``ROSETTA' to comet 46P/Wirtanen a 100 kgLander will bring a scientific payload of
almost 27 kg to the surface of the nucleus.After a first scientific sequence it will operate for a considerable fraction of
thecometary orbit around the sun (between 3 AU and 2 AU). Ten experiments with a number of sub-experiments are foreseen; this
paper presents the current status of the Lander development and reviews the scientific capabilities of each of the experiments
at a time when the Flight Model (FM) of the Lander is already delivered. |
