Paris: The European Space Agency (ESA) has planned to reveal the site selected for the first landing of a comet this week.

Philae, a landing module weighing about 100 kg that is part of Rosetta (robotic space probe), will probably touch down Nov 11 on the surface of Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which the unmanned spacecraft has been orbiting and observing from a distance of less than 100 km since Aug 6.
