It’s getting away! We need to blast it NOW! Unfortunately, Spacecraft Rosetta doesn’t have the latest quantum pulse blasters onboard. But she IS equipped with a whole lot of sensors:

ALICE Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer
CONSERT Comet Nucleus Sounding Experiment by Radio wave Transmission
COSIMA Cometary Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer
GIADA Grain Impact Analyser and Dust Accumulator
MIDAS Micro-Imaging Dust Analysis System
MIRO Microwave Spectrometer for the Rosetta Orbiter
OSIRIS Optical, Spectroscopic, and InfraRed Remote Imaging System
ROSINA Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis
RPC Rosetta Plasma Consortium
RSI Radio Science Investigation
VIRTIS Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer
