Here ’s the primary landing site :
Site J is on the ‘ head ’ of the comet , an irregular molded world that is just over 4 kilometre across at its wide decimal point . The decision to select Site J as the primary site was solid . The backup , Site C , is locate on the ‘ consistence ’ of the comet .

The 100 kg lander is planned to reach the open on 11 November , where it will do indepth measurements to characterise the lens nucleus in situ , in a completely unprecedented way .
I ca n’t wait for November 11 , the 24-hour interval of the landing place .
