TY  - JOUR
AB  - We describe the AMBITION project, a mission to return the first-ever cryogenicallystored sample of a cometary nucleus, that has been proposed for the ESA ScienceProgramme Voyage 2050. Comets are the leftover building blocks of giant planetcores and other planetary bodies, and fingerprints of Solar System’s formation processes. We summarise some of the most important questions still open in cometaryscience and Solar System formation after the successful Rosetta mission. We showthat many of these scientific questions require sample analysis using techniques thatare only possible in laboratories on Earth. We summarize measurements, instrumentation and mission scenarios that can address these questions. We emphasize the needfor returning a sample collected at depth or, still more challenging, at cryogenic temperatures while preserving the stratigraphy of the comet nucleus surface layers. Weprovide requirements for the next generation of landers, for cryogenic sample acquisition and storage during the return to Earth. Rendezvous missions to the main beltcomets and Centaurs, expanding our knowledge by exploring new classes of comets,are also discussed. The AMBITION project is discussed in the international contextof comet and asteroid space exploration.
