The Philae landed on the comet on November 12, 2014. That was a unique achievement, but the landing was not quite right. Philae landed in a different place than intended: in the shade. Hence the connection faltered and after two days the contact fell off. Since then, only briefly again been contacted.

The Rosetta continues to rotate for a few months around the comet. On September 30 it strikes the comet. The debris and the lander will then until the end of time running with the comet around the sun.
