The science fiction film called “Ambition” features the real mission of Rosetta and the mysteries surrounding its discoveries.
A mission that began as a dream, but after decades of planning, building and flying through the solar system, has reached its final aim.
This 6 minutes movie was directed by Tomek Bagińsk and was a partnership between ESA and Platige imagee. We encounter Aiden Gillen (Game of Thrones) and Aisling Franciosi (The Fall) actors.
It was shown October 24th, 2014, during the British Film Institute’s celebration of Sci-Fi: Days of Fear and Wonder, in London.
Get ready for Philae real landing on November 12th! If you don’t remember, Philae is the small robotic laboratory, the size of a refrigerator, which will land on the comet.
We will follow this adventure in live!
