- Someone 12y agoThe "Lander Control Center" is German (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt. See http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Aerospace_Center#Current http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Aerospace_Center#Curre...)
- nkuttler 12y agoThe probe is controlled from Germany... but yeah, that statement is as vague as it gets.

- tormeh 12y agoYes, but the DLR is not. ESA isn't monolithic in the way that NASA is, I believe.
- oelmekki 12y agoYeah, my first reaction was the same, mentioning them in the top of article while mentioning all other contributors as a note in last paragraph felt like wanting to take all credit. But then I saw it was published on a ".de" website. You can expect it's targeted at a german audience, who naturally feels interested in knowing which part their country played into this (mentioning others just after wouldn't have hurt, though).
