The Hera Space Companion has access to approved operational, scientific and mission knowledge, allowing it to explain the Hera mission as it unfolds, answer questions in real time and guide users through complex topics ranging from asteroid science and planetary defence to. Its purpose is simple: transform curiosity into understanding.

Instead of publishing static information and expecting audiences to find and understand it, we invite people to ask questions. The conversation becomes the entry point, and learning becomes personalised, interactive and continuous.

Because everyone starts from a different level of knowledge, the Companion can adapt explanations while maintaining scientific accuracy and consistency. Try it as a guest, or sign in so that it remembers your conversation and tailors its answers accordingly.

This is responsible AI in action. The Hera Space Companion is built around transparency, trust and scientific integrity.

It clearly identifies itself as AI, relies on approved sources, distinguishes facts from uncertainty, avoids speculation, respects privacy and directs questions to official ESA channels when human expertise is required.
