Scientific paper

The Planetary Cornerstone Mission of ESA's Long-Term Program for European Space Science, known as 'Horizon 2000,' was foreseen as a 'Mission to Primordial Bodies including the Return of Pristine Materials'. The return of primordial material from primitive bodies - asteroids and comets - was seen as one of the major themes for planetary research during implementation of the Long-Term Programme and as an area in which Europe could take a lead, building on the success of the Giotto mission. Programmatic difficulties encountered by ESA's intended partners in this complex and ambitious mission have required its reassessment as a purely ESA undertaking. As a result, it will no longer be possible to bring back samples for analysis in terrestrial laboratories; instead, we have to take the 'laboratories' to the comet]
