The European Space Agency (ESA) has presented visualization of collision of the space station Rosetta with Churyumov-Gerasimenko’s comet.

On a roller the accelerated descent of the device to a celestial body towards area with wide (more than 100 meters) and deep (about 60 meters) holes is shown. Collision of Rosetta with a comet is planned for midday on September 30.

The probe has made disembarkation to a surface of a comet of Churyumov-Gerasimenko on November 12, 2014, however couldn’t perform all volume of the planned work because of unsuccessful landing. The maternal probe has continued the work.
