The exciting Rosetta mission gave many science centres and museums the opportunity to get involved in synchronized international events, to show live science, and to feel the excitement and tension of live operations!

In 2016 the Ecsite Space Group prepared an update with the latest achievements of the mission and provided ready to use tools such as general scripts for each event with suggestions of activities.

Report

After a successful cooperation of the Ecsite Space Group and ESA in development of the Rosetta Kit about the Rosetta mission in 2013-2015, the collaboration will continue and new projects will be developed on three themes.

What are comets? Where do they come from? Why should we care about them? The exhibition “Comets & ESA’s Rosetta” invites the audience to take part in the incredible journey of Rosetta and to better understand its mission. Through simple and modular displays, visitors discover what we already know about comets and how a deeper knowledge of them could lead to major discoveries about the origins of the solar system and our origins.
