Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is often described as "the most famous" comet in the solar system. The Europe Space Agency's (ESA) Rosetta mission is aiming to put a small robot on the surface of this "ice mountain" - which, if successful, would be a major milestone in our world's astronomical history.
