Wake up Rosetta: You have a date with a comet
Wake up ESA's Rosetta space probe, you have a comet to meet - CNN.com
London (CNN) -- Scientists are inviting you to take part in "waking up" a comet-chasing probe that has been in hibernation in space for nearly three years.
The spacecraft is due to reactivate itself from an internal alarm clock on Monday but to celebrate the event the European Space Agency (ESA) is asking people to film themselves shouting "Wake up, Rosetta!" and then share their video clips on a dedicated Facebook page.
Visitors to the page can vote for their favorites and the top 10 will be transmitted towards Rosetta and out into the universe beyond.
Behind the fun lies a ground-breaking mission, which, if successful, will notch up a series of notable firsts.
