Space Agency: Europe's Comet Probe Phila has Woken Up
Europe's comet lander Philae has woken up overnight after a months-long sleep, hurtling towards the Sun in deep space, the president of France's CNES space agency said Sunday.
"We received new signals from (Philae) for a period of two minutes, as well as 40 seconds worth of data," Jean-Yves Le Gall told Agence France Presse.
