All aboard for asteroid Apophis!
ESA's Ramses mission aims to rendezvous with the asteroid Apophis as it passes Earth in 2029. Ramses will deploy a CubeSat led by Spanish company Emxys just a few kilometres from the surface of the asteroid to study it up close.

I had the privilege of working on CubeSat projects. A CubeSat is a class of small satellites of 10 cm (3.9 in) cubes.CubeSats have a mass of no more than 2 kg (4.4 lb) per unit. What are some of the uses of CubeSat you envision? 🧪

3 years ago, NASA crashed the DART spacecraft into an asteroid at 22,000 kilometers per hour. The event changed the asteroid's orbit and tilt & sent it tumbling.
A nearby cubesat captured these remarkable images of the asteroid immediately after the impact. 🧪🔭
