RAMSES (Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety
Good to hear that preparatory work is starting on #ESAs next planetary defence mission – the Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety (Ramses). It is so thrilling. Imagine, there will be an exceptionally close flyby of #Earth in 2029. ☄️The asteroid Apophis will pass within 32000 km from Earth’s surface on 13 April 2029 and we can see him with our own eyes. So, save the date.
With our deep heritage in the #Heramission we will do everything which is needed to support the outstandig Ramses mission. We have the experts, we know how to build a spacecraft which flys to an asteroid, and we at OHB SE are always very happy to be a strong partner for scientists around the world.
We know, Ramses is challenging and has a very tight schedule. We are in this together and our joint goal is to achieve the greatest scientific outcome. Watch out or we could quote Queen guitarist and astrophysicist Dr. Brian May who once said in a video for ESAs upcoming Hera mission “Planetary defence warriors rock on”.
And as always – #spacesafety first.
