“…within the last three months before landing, three depassivation operations were performed. Since the MASCOT batteries were from the same batch as the batteries aboard the Philae lander of the Rosetta mission (Debus et al 2003), the formation of a passivation layer on the anode of the batteries were expected during their extended storage time of more than 15 years. Such a layer may prevent the cells to provide energy and therefore had to be removed before the batteries were operated.…”

“…They are rechargeable via the solar generator or, during cruise, via current lines from the Orbiter. The secondary batteries are monitored in the checkout phases during cruise to keep the charge status at a level which leads to minimum degradation (Debus et al, 2003).…”

The paper describes the Rosetta Lander named Philae and introduces its complement of scientific instruments. Philae was launched aboard the European Space Agency Rosetta spacecraft on 02 March 2004 and is expected to land and operate on the nucleus of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at a distance of about 3 AU from the Sun. Its overall mass is ∼98 kg (plus the support systems remaining on the Orbiter), including its scientific payload of ∼27 kg. It will operate autonomously, using the Rosetta Orbiter as a communication relay to Earth. The scientific goals of its experiments focus on elemental, isotopic, molecular and mineralogical composition of the cometary material, the characterization of physical properties of the surface and subsurface material, the large-scale structure and the magnetic and plasma environment of the nucleus. In particular, surface and sub-surface samples will be acquired and sequentially analyzed by a suite of instruments. Measurements will be performed primarily during descent and along the first five days following touch-down. Philae is designed to also operate on a long time-scale, to monitor the evolution of the nucleus properties. Philae is a very integrated project at system, science and management levels, provided by an international consortium. The Philae experiments have the potential of providing unique scientific outcomes, complementing by in situ ground truth the Rosetta Orbiter investigations.
