Michela Muñoz participated in the OSIRIS camera team for the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission.
The Rosetta mission achieved the historic landing on a comet.
The initial target of the Rosetta mission was the comet 46P/Wirtanen.
The Rosetta mission involved a ten-year chase during which the spacecraft was hibernated for 32 months to save energy.
The European Space Agency (ESA) launched the Rosetta mission, which included contributions from Italy.
The lander of the Rosetta mission was named Philae.
Italy collaborated on both the orbiter and the lander of the Rosetta mission.
Due to a problem with the launcher, the Rosetta mission's target changed to the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
ESA's Rosetta mission to comet 67P found fragile dust with porosities exceeding 99 percent.
The new Centre will use highly advanced algorithms developed from European Space Agency software and technologies used in the Rosetta mission.
