CLEAN : Scientists seek to land first probe on comet

The video discusses the Rosetta mission, which aims to land a spacecraft on a comet for the first time. This mission seeks to study the origins of the solar system by examining a comet, which is a remnant from the formation period. The mission is highly challenging and considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those involved. The philosophy behind the mission is to include a wide range of instruments and involve as many participants as possible to maximize scientific output.
