Abstract

The Rapid Apophis Mission for SpacE Safety (RAMSES) is the candidate mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) to rendezvous with the asteroid Apophis prior to its closest approach to Earth on April 13, 2029 (see the mission logo, Fig. 1). Its development is ongoing while the formal approval for launch in spring 2028 has to wait for the ESA Council at Ministerial Level (CMIN25) in November 2025.
