ESA’s Comet Interceptor will be the first mission to visit a comet coming directly from the outer reaches of the Sun's realm, carrying material untouched since the dawn of the Solar System.

After launch, the spacecraft will be 'parked' in space before moving to intercept a suitable pristine comet. When the comet is near, the main spacecraft will release two probes to observe the comet from multiple directions at the same time.

Robin Courson, an engineer working on the Comet Interceptor mission at OHB Sweden, created a LEGO^® model of the main spacecraft and the two probes.

Comet Interceptor is an ESA-led mission in collaboration with JAXA. OHB is the prime contractor for the design and construction of Comet Interceptor.
