“Kuiper Belt Missions Could Reveal the Solar System’s Origins” from scientific America on the 14 of October 2014

In order to understand this we first need to know what the kuiper belt is.  The Kuiper belt is a region surrounding our solar system made of ice and rocks; it is believed to be the origin of comets of orbital periods of less than 200 years.

This note talks about a satellite called Rosetta its mission was to land on a comet and drill in order to know what it was made of. As the satellite is flying side by side with the comet. In order to do as planned it needed to “wake up” because it was set to turn on by an alarm which was started 2 years ago. Before the initialization there were a couple of blank faces thinking it would never come to life just like the mars observer, this was mentioned by holger sierks an astronomer in Germany.

It has already landed and I’m intrigued to know what it will tell us about the origin of life and our solar system.
