The OG personified spacecraft series.
About
Once Upon a Time... Rosetta, also known as The Amazing Adventures of Rosetta and Philae and the Rosetta Cartoon, is an animated web-series created by the European Space Agency and German company, Design & Data GmbH, to promote the ESA Rosetta mission. Rosetta was the first spacecraft to orbit a comet, and its lander, Philae, was the first to land on a comet. Over the span of three years, 12 episodes were produced, with the series concluding in 2016. In 2019, a planetarium version was produced in collaboration with the Swiss Museum of Transport.
