The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to launch a unique comet-chasing mission in 2029.
The mission, called Comet Interceptor, was approved on Wednesday (June 8) at ESA's Science Programme Committee meeting. It will be a collaboration between ESA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
The mission will consist of three probes — the main spacecraft and two smaller satellites — that will launch to space together with the European exoplanet hunter Ariel.
