Scientists explain why BepiColombo’s mission to Mercury is so tricky
Reaching Mercury is such a challenge because “the gravitational pull of the Sun is very strong near Mercury, which makes it difficult for spacecraft to slow down enough to enter orbit around the planet,” explains Lina Hadid, staff scientist at CNRS in France and principal investigator of one of BepiColombo’s instruments.
NASA Mission Captures Incredible Close-Ups of Mercury
BepiColombo passed a mere 295 kilometers above Mercury's surface at 6:59 CET on Jan. 9. The flyby began on the planet's frigid night side. Seven minutes later, the probe emerged from the shadows over the North Pole. This area was bathed in light, allowing it to capture a stunning visage with its monitoring cameras (M-CAMs).
