    Abstract : The joint European Space Agency and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency mission Comet Interceptor seeks to perform a flyby of a Small Solar System Body (SSSB), through use of a multi-element spacecraft. It comprises a primary spacecraft and two subspacecraft, the latter of which will encounter the intercepted object at a small enough distance that its end-of-life might occur at an impact of either the object itself or its potential coma.
