The BBC reports on frustration in the media regarding the release of data from the Rosetta mission. Jean-Jacques Dordain, ESA Director General (DG):
"Even I've tried to get more data," Mr Dordain said. "I might be the DG but I'm also a fan of Rosetta and [its lander] Philae. It's a problem; I don't deny it's a problem. But it's a very difficult problem, too."
I recall many comments on SN regarding difficulty in finding images during the landing of the probe — I guess NASA spoils us. Most funding agencies in Europe require publication of results and data. For example, UK funding agency policy is here. But a data embargo is common to prevent others from publishing first, and not a problem for most science which does not receive so much public attention.
