During this mission, the team members are taking part in a daring trek of exploration. Once again Comet Encke will travel close to the Sun and Earth. This time, human space travelers, as well as space probes, will undertake scientific missions to the great comet.

Many years of planning and hard work have been invested into this moment. Team members in both the Spacecraft and Mission Control must work together to rendezvous with the comet’s tail, and successfully launch a scientific probe.

Along the way team members will also encounter many important tasks that need to be performed. Journey with us on this important mission, the great comet awaits…
