The Philae Lander had accomplished >80% of the mission requirements by the time the battery ran out of energy to support the electronics. The drill has delivered a sample of the comet to the on-board analysis laboratory and the results of that have been delivered to Earth. The lander has also been re- positioned slightly in an attempt to maximise access to sunlight by the largest solar panel. The team await 11:00 GMT for the next possible opportunity to be in contact with Philae if the 1.5 hours of sunlight the lander will see has managed to recharge the batteries sufficiently. -- ******************************************************************** Paul E.
