Solar System Missions in the ESA Scientific Program

After the successful outcome of the Space19+ ministerial meeting in Seville we are looking forward to exciting years, with important new missions in the ESA Scientific Programme. Solar Orbiter in Spring 2020, the Exomars Rover in Summer 2020 and JUICE in Summer 2022 are flagship ESA missions in the Cosmic Vision programme. But there are also a number of smaller and missions of opportunity, like Proba-3 in 2021, the ESA/China mission SMILE in 2023, and JAXA Martian Moon Explorer mission MMX in 2024. And in 2028 there will be the exciting Flexi mission Comet Interceptor to an as yet undiscovered pristine comet or even another interstellar visitor. I will review these missions together with the exciting science from our current fleet of solar system missions.
