Asteroid to zoom past Earth in 2029 - and a spacecraft will follow it

The European Space Agency's mission, Ramses, will rendezvous with near-Earth asteroid Apophis in 2029 as it passes within 19,883 miles of Earth.
The spacecraft will accompany Apophis before and after its close Earth flyby, allowing for detailed study of the asteroid's interaction with Earth's gravity.
Apophis, discovered in 2004, is shaped like a peanut and will be closely observed by ESA and NASA to enhance our understanding of space rock dynamics.

The asteroid Apophis in 2029 will pass closer to Earth than satellites. ESA: start of the Ramses planetary defense mission

Roma, 16 luglio 2024 - Nel 2029 l'asteroide 99942 Apophis 'sfiorerà' la Terra ad appena 32mila chilometri, più vicino dei satelliti per le telecomunicazioni che si trovano in orbita geostazionaria. In vista dell'evento, passaggi così ravvicinati avvengono solo una volta ogni 5mila o 10mila anni, l'Agenzia Spaziale Europea ha iniziato a preparare la missione di difesa planetaria Ramses (Rapid Apophis Mission for Security and Safety), per accompag…
