MISSION ZERO IS A REAL MINESPACE INC. MISSION. THE 2029 ENCOUNTER VISUALIZATION IS SIMULATED; THIS FILM DOES NOT REPRESENT A COMPLETED SPACECRAFT LAUNCH OR RENDEZVOUS.

THE REAL ENCOUNTER.
Asteroid (99942) Apophis makes a safe, exceptionally close Earth flyby on April 13, 2029. The facts below are grounded in a NASA/JPL SBDB Close-Approach Data record. This is an interactive, independently branded MineSpace visualization, not a NASA mission or live spacecraft operation.

What you're looking at
Reference data: The baseline close-approach distance and velocities come from an example Apophis record in NASA/JPL's publicly documented Close-Approach Data API (orbit ID 206). You can retrieve a current record using the button below. API records may be updated as observations improve.
Calculated model: The geometry mode uses an idealized Earth-centered, two-body hyperbolic flyby constrained by the JPL nominal periapsis distance and hyperbolic excess speed. It is not an integrated JPL ephemeris. Earth-centric encounter-plane orientation, lighting and the hero sequence are artistic. The asteroid marker is greatly enlarged. Times from the JPL CAD API are TDB, not civil UTC.
Mission status: The observer/camera spacecraft shown in the cinematic is conceptual. MineSpace does not claim to have launched, commanded or rendezvoused with Apophis. The 2029 encounter is safe; there is no impact scenario portrayed here.

WHAT IS MEASURED / PUBLISHED
Nominal close-approach distance, time and relative speed from NASA/JPL SBDB CAD. The record can be refreshed online; an offline source snapshot remains available.
WHAT IS MODELED
Earth-centered Kepler hyperbola, mean Earth radius and constant Earth gravity parameter. The chart and scrub positions are not a JPL Horizons ephemeris or a literal sky map.
WHAT IS CINEMATIC
Earth orientation, asteroid shape, object scale, spacecraft artwork and encounter-plane direction. No spacecraft flight or asteroid-impact scenario is claimed.
