Comparison between Rosetta’s OSIRIS-NAC image and VTS simulation

On the 2nd of septembre 2016 the Rosetta OSIRIS NAC camera captured an image of Philae from an altitude of 2,7 km. Here is an animation comparing the real image and a VTS simulation to illustrate each part of the lander on the NAC image and find out the Philae attitude.
