The chosen landing site is on the "head" of the rubber-duck-shaped comet and is currently referred to simply as "J", the designation it was given in a list of possible destinations in the selection process.
It is far from ideal. It contains some terrifying cliffs, but is the flattest, most boulder-free location the mission team could find in its survey of the icy object.
Mapping of J and a back-up site known as "C" is ongoing.
This past week, Rosetta manoeuvred into an orbit just 20km from 67P, enabling its camera system to see details that can be measured on the sub-metre scale.
For landing, such information only has a certain usefulness, however, as the automated touchdown can only be targeted with a best precision that will likely run to hundreds of metres.
And that error is larger than any of the apparently smooth terrains in the J zone.
The whole separation, descent and landing (SDL) procedure is expected to take seven hours.
Philae will take a picture of Rosetta as it leaves its "parent".
It will also point a camera downwards so that it can see the approaching comet. Not that this information can change anything; Philae has no thrusters to control or alter its descent trajectory. It will land where it will land.
But the images will help controllers determine where the robot ended up after the event.
