JUST WAIT WHEN THE IRON CHICKEN FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS INTRUDER........

[Bealman]

On a serious note it seems the success could be short lived... apparently it's in shadow and no sunlight getting to it's solar panels. It's apparently operating on batteries which are getting low.

From The Daily Telegraph letters section 17 Nov 14:

    The European Space Agency asteroid lander Philae is performing exactly as one would reasonably expect of any European project.
     
    It is largely in the dark, it is upside down, everyone with a financial interest declares it a success, but the solar energy isn't producing as much electricity as it requires to survive.
