Our team consists of 12 researchers working in six different countries. Most team members have been involved with different aspects of Rosetta, Comet Interceptor and/or New Horizons and some have extensive experience with preparation for the future leading telescopes and surveys (LSST, JWST, ELT). The team also includes experts on physical modelling and dynamics of small bodies. With this, the expertise of the team members covers the whole range of topics and techniques necessary to address the multidisciplinary questions of this project.
