Comet Interceptor is a Fast mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) conceived to study a long period comet. The mission concept includes a spinning probe venturing very near to the comet; on this probe, the Entire Visible Sky (EnVisS) camera will be mounted. EnVisS is an intensity and polarimetric imager that will address several fields of cometary science by carrying out observations close to, and within a comet's coma. In this work, the instrument concept, design and scientific capabilities of EnVisS will be presented.

Abstract

Comet Interceptor is a Fast mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) conceived to study a long period comet. The mission concept includes a spinning probe venturing very near to the comet; on this probe, the Entire Visible Sky (EnVisS) camera will be mounted. EnVisS is an intensity and polarimetric imager that will address several fields of cometary science by carrying out observations close to, and within a comet's coma. In this work, the instrument concept, design and scientific capabilities of EnVisS will be presented.
