Enabled the space probe "elephants" of the meteor landing on "Hermov Gerasmenko" after its launch from the Rosetta space ship of the European Union, which hovered for a moment above the meteor.
This is the first time in human history in which the human can download one Msparaly surface meteorites.
The probe sent the first transmissions to the control room in Darmstadt in Germany to begin the transfer of images and data from the comet's surface above the snow, which came from outside the solar system.
But the landing process was marred by some of the difficulties as "spears" special did not originate installed on the surface of the comet.
He said elephants program director, Stefan Aolamich, "the probe has not been proven on the surface of the comet, we do not know yet what happened fully."
It consists of comets in the distant parts of space and then approaching the solar system because of the attractiveness of the sun and spin around before returning to the outside of the solar system again if it did not disappear completely in its journey toward the sun.
Said Jean-Jacques Dordain head of the conduct of the probe team in the "elephants control room talking to us and we are now above the surface of the comet."
It is supposed to benefit the data and images sent by elephants in understanding the nature and composition of the meteorite.
The researchers said they hoped to contain the data, which will get from the elephants what helps them to understand the nature of the formation of the solar system some five billion years ago.
These samples that reveal how the Earth was formed, and the other planets, because comets are remnants resulted from the formation of the solar system.
Scientists believe that comets may be responsible for bringing a large part of the water that filled the oceans now.
