   The Artemis program is a Moon exploration program led by the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), formally established in 2017 via Space Policy Directive 1. It is intended to reestablish a human presence on the Moon for the first time since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

   Could a space mission change our understanding of giant asteroids?

   • With just four years to whip together Ramses in time for launch, the European Space Agency (ESA) has begun work on the project before it is even officially confirmed. Now, scientists are racing to build a space mission that could change how we understand the threat of giant asteroids.

   How many missions have been deployed to study asteroids in situ?

   • Thus far, only 20 missions have been deployed to study asteroids in situ, including the aforementioned OSIRIS-REx, Japan's Hayabusa1 and Hayabusa2 crafts, the ESA's Rosetta space probe, and the asteroid-hopping NASA mission Lucy, currently journeying to the Trojan asteroids that share their orbit with Jupiter.

   What are asteroid reconnaissance missions?

   • This type of mission is a cornerstone of humankind’s response to a hazardous asteroid. A reconnaissance mission would be launched first to analyse the incoming asteroid’s orbit and structure. The results would be used to determine how best to redirect the asteroid or to rule out non-impacts before an expensive deflector mission is developed.”

   What can a spacecraft learn from a asteroid flyby?

   • During the flyby, strong tidal forces will strain the asteroid and likely reveal new material from beneath the surface. A spacecraft at Apophis could observe these changes and teach scientists a lot about the asteroid’s composition and structure, as well as how an asteroid responds to external forces.

   When will ESA commit to asteroid mission?

   • The decision whether to commit to the mission in full will take place at ESA's Ministerial Council Meeting in November 2025. Using a suite of scientific instruments, the spacecraft will conduct a thorough before-and-after survey of the asteroid's shape, surface, orbit, rotation and orientation.
