Kunow University of Kiel I Kiel, Germany The paper discusses a small satellite mission that I was proposed to the European Space Agency (ESA) and to the German Space Agency (DARA). The idea is to support the Vlysses mission by conducting reference I measurements in the ecliptic plane. particularly during the time periods of Ulysses' polar passages. The scientific objectives, the instrumentation. and the impact on the Ulysses mission are discussed. The I mission scenario is described. the mission constraints are given, and a preliminary spacecraft I concept is shown. I 1. INTRODUCTION The proposal for PAFERM was submitted in due time to ESA.

This Call for Ideas was conducted by the Science Applications I initiated by a recommendation of the International Corporation; 91% of space Science Programme Review Team.

  • Rosetta Craft Makes Historic Comet Rendezvous European Space Agency's Comet-Chasing Mission Arrives After 10-Year Journey
    NATURE | NEWS Rosetta craft makes historic comet rendezvous European Space Agency's comet-chasing mission arrives after 10-year journey. Elizabeth Gibney 06 August 2014 ESA/Rosetta/MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/SSO/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, as seen by Rosetta from a distance of 285 kilometres. No one can deny that it was an epic trip. The European Space Agency's comet-chasing Rosetta spacecraft has arrived at its quarry, after launching more than a decade ago and travelling 6.4 billion kilometres through the Solar System. That makes it the first spacecraft to rendezvous with a comet, and takes the mission a step closer to its next, more ambitious goal of making the first ever soft landing on a comet. Speaking from mission control in Darmstadt, Germany, Matt Taylor, Rosetta project scientist for the European Space Agency (ESA), called the space mission “the sexiest there’s ever been”. Rosetta is now within 100 kilometres of its target, comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (or 67P for short), which in July was discovered to be shaped like a rubber duck. After a six-minute thruster burn, at 11:29 a.m. local time on 6 August, ESA scientists confirmed that Rosetta had moved into the same orbit around the Sun as the comet. Rosetta is now moving at a walking pace relative to the motion of 67P — though both are hurtling through space at 15 kilometres per second. Unlike NASA’s Deep Impact and Stardust craft, and ESA’s Giotto mission, which flew by their target comets at high speed, Rosetta will now stay with the comet, taking a ring-side seat as 67P approaches the Sun, and eventually swings around it in August 2015.

  • In Situ Observations of Cometary Nuclei 211
    Keller et al.: In Situ Observations of Cometary Nuclei 211 In Situ Observations of Cometary Nuclei H. U. Keller Max-Planck-Institut für Aeronomie D. Britt University of Central Florida B. J. Buratti Jet Propulsion Laboratory N. Thomas Max-Planck-Institut für Aeronomie (now at University of Bern) It is only through close spacecraft encounters that cometary nuclei can be resolved and their properties determined with complete confidence. At the time of writing, only two nuclei (those of Comets 1P/Halley and 19P/Borrelly) have been observed, both by rapid flyby missions. The camera systems onboard these missions have revealed single, solid, dark, lumpy, and elongated nuclei. The infrared systems gave surface temperatures well above the free sublimation tempera- ture of water ice and close to blackbody temperatures. The observed nuclei were much more similar than they were different. In both cases, significant topography was evident, possibly reflecting the objects’ sublimation histories. Dust emission was restricted to active regions and jets in the inner comae were prevalent. Active regions may have been slightly brighter than inert areas but the reflectance was still very low. No activity from the nightside was found. In this chapter, the observations are presented and comparisons are made between Comets Halley and Borrelly. A paradigm for the structure of cometary nuclei is also described that implies that the nonvolatile component defines the characteristics of nuclei and that high porosity, large- scale inhomogeneity, and moderate tensile strength are common features. 1. INTRODUCTION It is important to emphasize that prior to the spacecraft encounters with Comet 1P/Halley in 1986, the existence of The nuclei of most comets are too small to be resolved a nucleus was merely inferred from coarse observations.

Having spent most of their life at large distance from the Sun, where they remained mostly unaffected by solar radiation, comets are the most unaltered remnants from the era of planet formation. In June 2019, a multi-spacecraft project – Comet Interceptor – was selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) as its next planetary mission, and the first in its new class of Fast (F) projects [1]. The mission’s primary science goal is to characterise, for the first time, a long-period comet – preferably one which is dynamically new – or an interstellar object. An encounter with a comet approaching the Sun for the first time will provide valuable data to complement that from all previous comet missions: the surface of such an object would be being heated to temperatures above the its constituent ices’ sublimation point for the first time since its formation.
