PARIS-
The European comet probe Philae sent home data from a drill experiment, a key part of its mission, before the lander fell silent for lack of power, a scientist said on Saturday.
“We received everything,” mission scientist Jean-Pierre Bibring told a foreign , about the scramble to get data home before Philae went into standby mode.
The experiment analysed a sample drilled from the comet’s surface, looking for chemical signatures that could help explain the origins of the Solar System.
