摘要: Abstract The investigation of small bodies, comets and asteroids, can contribute substantially to our understanding the formation history Solar System. In-situ observations by Landers play a prominent role in this field. Rosetta Lander – Philae is currently on its way comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It will land November 2014 perform numerous experiments with suite 10 scientific instruments. has been designed cope wide range possible properties. considerations taken during development are relevant for future missions bodies In addition paper provides review alternative concepts, studied or developed various like Phobos, Hayabusa/Minerva Geocroiseur/Leonard. Various System, including Landers, (e.g., Marco Polo). address mission options compare applicable technologies solutions chosen Philae.
