article_snippet: There will be several windows of opportunity as Rosetta makes Rosetta way around the comet for the orbiting Rosetta spacecraft to talk to each other.
article_snippet: But to start communicating with Rosetta again the temperature needs to raise a few more degrees so it can generate 19 watts of power.
article_snippet: Philae, pictured left by Rosetta on Rosetta approach to comet 67P on 12 November, needs 19 watts of power in order to communicate with Earth through Rosetta.
