Student News Net: With temperatures so cold at the comet, how did you test for the chemical compounds identified from dust and gas around the comet?

Student News Net: During your latest press conference, you mentioned that the Rosetta Mission could be extended until September 2016 at which time you would have the Rosetta Orbiter land on the comet signaling the end of the mission. How long do you need to prepare for such an operation and where will the comet be at that time?

Student News Net: What is the most likely explanation for the origin of the molecules that you have identified to date?

Student News Net: Wednesday's SLOG with Rosetta Orbiter engineers promises to be terrific. As Comet 67P approached perihelion (its closest approach to the sun) in August, the Rosetta team had to position the Orbiter at a safe distance so it would not be damaged by comet debris, which became a factor because of the rise in temperature. Listen to how the engineers kept the Orbiter at a safe distance. Another focus of the SLOG will be a discussion of how the Orbiter communicates with engineers on Earth.
