If everything goes as planned, Rosetta releases the Philae vehicle at 9:35 a.m. At that time, Rosetta will be 22.5 km from the comets, and Phila will take 7 hours to do so. Thus, at 17:00 we will see Philae landing at the Agilquia point of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimen. And is that with half an hour delay we see what happens on Earth.

Ander Martínez de Albeniz will be one of the engineers who will participate in the operation. Thanks to ESA we will be able to see live the images of the operation, and the members of the magazine Elhuyar, Eider Carton and Ana Galarraga, will also follow up through Twitter.
