Phillae's Journey - V3.1
This image shows the whole of my guesstimated journey of Phillae across 67P. Various times and places where Phillae has been imaged have been used, but no trajectory, calculations, SPICE data or scaling is involved. It is purely a representation to aid visualisation and understanding of the events of 12/11/2014.
The Final position of Phillae is not an official one, but my opinion based on this and other NAVCAM images from November. The release of the OSIRIS WAC image has enabled me to be a lot more confident about the trajectory of the second part of the first bounce. It lends credence to the second touchdown being below the crater(?) rim and the final position of Phillae.
A close up of the final position of Phillae can be seen three images earlier in my photo stream. The next image shows the journey on the OSIRIS image mentioned above. The original OSIRIS NAC image on which these annotations have been drawn can be found at;-
