The ESA Rosetta space mission was a successful and ambitious European program aimed at studying comet nuclei and environments to understand their composition, morphology, and contribute to decoding the mechanisms of the formation and evolution of the solar system.
Italy's research contributions from GIOTTO to Rosetta were highlighted during the workshop, showcasing the country's involvement in the mission and scientific advancements.
Various presentations during the workshop focused on key scientific findings related to the geology, physical properties, dust dynamics, and water cycles of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko observed through the Rosetta mission.
