Polish scientists build key instrument for ESA mission to intercept ancient comets

Polish scientists have completed and delivered the first flight-ready instrument for the European Space Agency’s Comet Interceptor mission, which aims to study a comet entering the Solar System for the first time and possibly even an object originating from interstellar space.
