It's 5 years to the day since the European Space Agency website below appeared online, inviting proposals for the agency's first F-class mission. This led to the Comet Interceptor mission concept being born! ☄️🛰️ sci.esa.int/web/cosmic-vis…

🌞🌍🪐 Arrr, our #SolarSystemExplorers help us make sense of our celestial abode, from graspin' the ways of our mighty star ‘n its ties to Earth, to venturin' forth to visit our neighboring planets, moons, and comets.

It's an exciting time for small body space missions! Many congratulations to our colleagues on the #OSIRISREx mission for the fanatic haul of primitive material recently delivered to Earth. A wealth of scientific results awaits!
