The asteroid 99942 Apophis is headed for a close flyby with Earth on April 13, 2029, and space agencies are coordinating efforts to study the object during this the once-in-a-lifetime experience. NASA’s extended asteroid mission, now called OSIRIS-APEX, will reach the asteroid after its flyby. ESA’s complementary RAMSES mission will study the asteroid with a different suite of instruments before and during Apophis’ approach. Named for the Egyptian serpent god, Apophis will make a rendezvous with Earth on April 13, 2029. Simultaneously, the European Space Agency’s Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety (RAMSES…nice acronym work there) will complement NASA’s mission.
