ESA have just announced that they have found Philae in images taken from the high resolution camera on Rosetta.

 

See http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2016/09/05/philae-found/

 

Philae is on her side with one leg in the air as had been predicted by some of the previous posts.

 

Regards

 

John Murrell, FRAS

There is a full resolution image at http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2016/09/OSIRIS_narrow-angle_camera_image_with_Philae_2_September you need to zoom into the middle right to see Philae. The image gives a good context of the ‘landing’ position
