On this page are listed the members of the consortium who, during 2018-2022, proposed the Comet Interceptor mission, developed its instruments, and carried out scientific and technical studies in support of the mission's development. The mission was formally adopted by the European Space Agency in June 2022.
The working groups listed below have now ceased their activities - ESA are currently in the process of setting up new working groups to support the scientific management of the mission.
