Today, two new missions are launched in the Kerbal Space Program: the Shared Horizons update was done in collaboration with the European Space Agency and includes new parts and cosmetics; and the Rosetta mission is the first of two new missions to be launched in the Kerbal Space Program.

Rosetta is a mission to send a landing module to a comet; ESA started this mission in 2004 and successfully completed it in 2016, but landing on a chunk of ice and rock hurtling through space is no easy task. More comets will be found and visited in the career mode as they have just been added to all modes.

The BepiColombo mission, on the other hand, will not reach its destination, Mercury, until 2025, but we can beat it with a virtual version and send a probe to measure and experiment on our stellar neighbor.

Shared Horizons also includes updated planetary textures, new ESA rocket-inspired parts variants, and smaller versions of advanced grab units known as flags, suit pickers, and claws.

The update is free to everyone, and full patch notes can be checked on the forums; Kerbal Space Program 2 was supposed to be released this year, but has been pushed back to fall 2021.
