Sensoren in de poten van de komeetlander Philae hebben het geluid van de touchdown opgenomen. Uiteraard is er geen geluid in de ruimte, maar de trillingen van de landing zijn opgenomen.
[su_quote cite=”Klaus Seidensticker – DLR Institute of Planetary Research”]“Our data record the first touchdown and show that Philae’s feet first penetrated a soft surface layer – possibly a dust layer – several centimetres thick until they hit a hard surface – probably a sintered ice-dust layer – a few milliseconds later.”[/su_quote]
