ARRAKIHS Milestones
The key dates of the ARRAKIHS high-level schedule are summarised in the table below. Compared to L- and M-class missions, the overall schedule is highly compressed, reflecting the F-class requirement of reaching launch within a maximum of eight years from mission selection.
The mission includes approximately 3.5 years of study phases (0, A and B), from selection by the Science Programme Committee (SPC) in November 2022 to formal adoption in June 2026. This is followed by a four-year development phase (C and D), starting with the kick-off of industrial Phase 2 and leading to the planned launch by the end of 2030.
