However, Lander project manager Stephan Ulamec told the BBC that at last radio contact with the probe, he believed it to be in a stable configuration.
但是“菲莱”着陆器主管史蒂芬·乌拉美克表示,通过最近一次与“菲莱”的无线电联络,他相信“菲莱”目前状况稳定。
"This is the indication right now," he explained. "We really have to wait until tomorrow morning and then we will know a lot more."
“这是目前的情况”,他解释道,“我们必须等到明天早上才能获取更多的信息。”
Early data started to come back from instruments, and one team could see that the lander had sunk about 4cm (1.5 inches) into the surface, suggesting a relatively soft top layer.
“菲莱”已经传回了之前的数据,工作人员能够发现着陆器在表面下沉了4厘米,这说明彗星地面的表层相对较柔软。
But shortly after, engineers could see that the harpoons, designed to fasten the spacecraft to the 4km-wide (2.5 miles) ball of ice and dust, had not fired as planned.
但随后,工程师们发现之前设计的用来在彗星表面固定着陆器的鱼叉头系统并未按计划射出。
In a later media briefing, Dr Ulamec said: "What we know is we touched down, we landed at the comet at the time when you all saw us cheering and when it was announced.
在之后的媒体通气会上,乌拉美克博士说:“我们所知的是“菲莱”已经着陆了,着陆后我们就向大家进行了宣布,大家也看到了我们的欢呼。”
