RAMSES mission: RPS and MARIE to investigate asteroid Apophis' passage through Earth's magnetosphere The RAMSES space probe is a replica of ESA's Hera mission, with minor modifications to the spacecraft and some new instruments. Like Hera, RAMSES will also deploy two small satellites: the CubeSats 'Farinella' and 'Don Quijote'.

My colleague wrote a nice Blog about the #ESA #RAMSESmission
