The #ESA wants to investigate how the #asteroid deforms during its flyby of Earth and how its trajectory could be influenced should #Apophis ☄️ become a threat to Earth in the future. About a week after the Earth flyby, a #Japanese lander is scheduled to land. Another lander from an unknown client is set to head for Apophis, about which nothing further is known. Both will be transported to Apophis by the private US space company #ExLabs https://www.exlabs.space

Space Pilot, how does the autopilot (Italian) work with AI for satellites and how will it help the mission to the asteroid Apophis?

During the mission, which will begin in 2028, the ExLabs spacecraft will attempt to collect data on the structure, composition, and gravitational effects of the asteroid Apophis.

ExLabs wins Space Force contract for reconfigurable space platform

Companies are pitching concepts for missions to visit an asteroid that will make a close approach to Earth in five years. The asteroid Apophis will pass closer to the Earth than the GEO satellite belt in April 2029, but with no risk of impact, and scientists are eager to send spacecraft to study Apophis both before and after the flyby. At a workshop this week, Blue Origin said it is offering its Blue Ring spacecraft for an Apophis mission, with room for up to 13 instruments or deployable spacecraft.
