Attends, en terme d'envergure le Stratolaunch est plus grand que le H-4! Et c'est un avion très utile qui vole beaucoup, si si je jure!

Illustration showing spacecraft A, probe B1 built by JAXA and probe B2, and the suite of instruments they each carry, alongside other important components. The instruments and parts are colour coded according to four categories: blue for Dust, Fields and Plasma (DFP) instrument suite, orange for Plasma instrument suite, red for other scientific instruments, and green for important components.

#CometInterceptor will be the first mission to visit a comet coming directly from the outer reaches of the Sun's realm, carrying material untouched since the dawn of the Solar System.

Part of #CosmicVision, Comet Interceptor is an ESA-led mission in collaboration with JAXA.

πŸ“ΈπŸ”­ October promises to be spectacular for comets:
β˜„οΈ C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) will reach magnitude 3–2 and be visible to the naked eye in dark skies.
β˜„οΈ C/2025 R2 (SWAN) will shine in binoculars, with long ion tails in photos.
We’ll keep following them day by day on these feeds so you don’t miss the show ✨

Such an interstellar comet would be an appealing – albeit unlikely – target for our Comet Interceptor mission, which is more likely to visit a pristine comet from the distant Oort Cloud that surrounds our Solar System.

Top five questions Comet Interceptor will help answer Comet Interceptor will target a pristine comet entering the inner Solar System for the first time. Such objects are difficult to get close to because we can only detect them when they fly near the Sun...

β˜„οΈ #CometInterceptor will target a pristine comet entering the inner Solar System for the first time.

The mission will investigate if these comets are different from the ones we know and if they contributed to the appearance of life on Earth, among others.

The image presents a dark background dominated by a series of concentric circles representing distances in thousands of kilometers (km). These circles are subtly colored in shades of teal/blue. A bright white line cuts across these circles diagonally, representing the path or trajectory of the Lucy spacecraft. A small green dot marks the "point of closest approach" of the Lucy with asteroid Donaldjohanson. At the top right, a light gray line shows the trajectory of asteroid Donaldjohanson (DJ). 

At the top left, text indicates the "Encounter Mode" with a small red dot possibly showing "live updates." Further text displays the name of the asteroid (Donaldjohanson), data about the encounter, including the date and time, the distance, and the phase angle.

A rectangular box in the lower right contains additional information about the observation, specifically the field of view of the L'LORRI instrument and the apparent size of the object in pixels. The box also clarifies that the object's shape and exact size are not precisely known, providing an estimated diameter of 3-5 km, citing a source ("Masiero et al. 2011").
