We took part in the development of the RPC (Rosetta Plasma Consortium) plasma physical instrument on board of the orbiter unit and in development of the on-board Command and Data Management Subsystem (CDMS) of the Philae lander unit of Rosetta mission. The mission was launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) back in 2004, and its interplanetary journey took 10 years before its lander and – a year later – the spacecraft itself descended to the comet’s surface.
