SPACE MERCURY BEPICOLOMBO SPACECRAFT

BepiColombo's first Mercury flyby

epa09501200 A handout picture made available by the European Space Agency (ESA) shows a view of Mercury captured by the joint European-Japanese BepiColombo mission on 01 October 2021, as the spacecraft flew past the planet for a gravity assist manoeuvre. The image was taken at 23:44:12 UTC by the Mercury Transfer Module's Monitoring Camera 2, when the spacecraft was about 2,418 km from Mercury. Its closest approach of about 199 km took place shortly before, at 23:34 UTC. In this view, north is towards the lower right. The cameras provide black-and-white snapshots in 1024 x 1024 pixel resolution. The spacecraft makes nine gravity assist manoeuvres (one of Earth, two of Venus and six of Mercury) before entering orbit around the innermost planet of the Solar System in 2025.BepiColombo is an international collaboration between ESA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
