Three space missions will observe asteroid Apophis during its 2029 Earth flyby

Asteroid Apophis will have a close Earth flyby in April 2029, prompting multiple space missions to observe it. Three missions, ESA's Ramses, JAXA's DESTINY+, and NASA's OSIRIS-APEX, are planned to study Apophis during its approach. These missions aim to gather detailed data on the asteroid's characteristics and its interaction with Earth's gravity.
