BepiColombo

Astronomy
  • An ESA–Japanese mission to the planet Mercury, launched in 2018 October and due to arrive at Mercury in 2025. It consists of two orbiters, the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) to study Mercury’s surface and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO) provided by Japan to study its magnetosphere and space environment. The mission is named after the Italian mathematician and engineer Giuseppe (‘Bepi’) Colombo (1920–84), who first explained Mercury’s unique rotation.

Space Exploration
  • A joint first mission to Mercury by the European Space Agency and Japan. It will consist of two separate orbiters: the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO), supplied by ESA, and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO) supplied by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA. MPO will study the surface and internal composition of the planet, while the MMO will study Mercury's magnetosphere, the region of space around the planet that is dominated by its magnetic field. Each spacecraft will observe the planet from polar orbit for one Earth year. On the way to Mercury, both craft will be powered by solar-electric propulsion, as demonstrated by ESA's SMART-1 mission to the Moon. BepiColombo is named after the Italian scientist, mathematician and engineer Giuseppe (‘Bepi’) Colombo (1920–84), who first explained Mercury's unique rotation. Originally planned for launch in January 2017, the craft launched from Europe’s spaceport at Kourou in October 2018.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A collaborative mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) to explore Mercury, named for Giuseppe (‘Bepi’) Colombo, the Italian astrophysicist who helped plan NASA’s Messenger expedition to Mercury, which ended in 2015. It was launched sucessfully on 20 October 2018, from Kourou, French Guiana. BepiColombo comprises two spacecraft that will separate on arrival; the ESA orbiter will study the planet itself, and the ISAS probe will study the planet’s magnetosphere.
