Ramses (spacecraft)

Ramses is a future European-Japanese planetary defense mission to the near-Earth asteroid (99942) Apophis, led by the European Space Agency (ESA). It is expected to be launched between mid April and mid May 2028 and to arrive at Apophis in February 2029 before its closest approach to Earth. It will conduct measurements of the asteroid's properties before and during the Earth flyby to study its response to the close encounter with the planet. At the asteroid, Ramses will deploy two smaller CubeSats. Ramses will leverage much of the technology developed for the Hera mission.
