Planet Mercury it is at the center of a very important mission that the European Space Agency and the one from Japan are currently carrying out, they are collaborating to send a spaceship there. The mission is called BepiColombo, the spacecraft being sent into outer space in 2018 by the two space agencies, and now it will pass by the Earth again on its way to the planet Mercury, a long and rather difficult one, unfortunately.
Planet Mercury it will be analyzed by the ship of the two space agencies only from 2025, and that's because only then will it arrive there, and will split into two pieces after it arrives. The planet Mercury is the smallest in our solar system, but it is also the closest to the sun, so the information that the space probe sent by the two agencies can provide can prove to be extremely important for humanity.
Planet Mercury: AMAZING Announcement, Great Mission for Humanity
Planet Mercury it is small, but the space probe sent from Earth is going to orbit our planet 9 times before reaching the necessary speed to get there, and to be able to orbit that planet. The orbit of the Earth to be able to leave for the planet Mercury at the right speed will start on April 10, and after the last one it will disappear to head towards its target at speed, arriving there only in December 2025.
"This is the last time we will see BepiColombo from Earth. After that it will head deeper into the inner solar system. The Earth swing-by is a phase where we need daily contact with the spacecraft. It's something we can't put off. The spacecraft will swing from Earth independently.”
Planet Mercury it's far away, and the whole project to send the space probe there was delayed because of the Coronavirus, and that's because the researchers have to be in daily contact with their probe during this period. Those interested in seeing the spacecraft from the BepiColombo mission will be able to watch it for the last time on April 10, and after that we will not see it again as it moves towards the planet Mercury, where it will send very important images and information.
Planet Mercury it is so far from Earth that missions of this kind are very important, but also very difficult to achieve, so the data will reveal many of the planet's secrets.
