Solar System Exploration

The solar system has one star, eight planets, five dwarf planets, at least 290 moons, more than 1.3 million asteroids, and about 3,900 comets.

A new era in solar system astronomy with JWST

The exploration of our solar system is being radically changed since the beginning of operations of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in mid 2022.

Solar Electric Propulsion

The project aims to demonstrate key technologies necessary for robotic and human exploration-class transportation systems as well as highly efficient orbit transfer capabilities for

James Webb Space Telescope Solar System

JWST''s capabilities are highly complementary to current Solar System missions and will also provide foundations for planning future missions.
