BepiColombo, a global Mercury exploration plan, recently released Mercury images taken by a swing-by space probe using technology that decelerates and decelerates by borrowing the power of the celestial body. The impact crater located in the shooting range is said to be named after a famous Jamaican artist. BepiColombo made its closest approach to Mercury on June 19 at 15:34. At the time, the probe captured detailed images from a distance of 236 km on the surface of Mercury, a small but dense planet in the solar system. Images of Mercury taken by the probe’s monitoring cameras were transmitted back to Earth at night. This is the third time BepiColombo will pass next to Mercury. The European Space Agency (ESA) has released three images captured by the probe. A total of six Mercury swing-bys are scheduled, in which the rover uses Mercury’s gravity to decelerate toward orbital launch. BepiColombo is a structure equipped with two probes and is equipped with scientific instruments to uncover mysteries in Mercury. The side approached by BepiColombo is toward Mercury’s night side, according to ESA, about 12 minutes ago, when the sun began to shine on the planet’s surface. This image was taken 15 minutes after the closest approximation, so indicators such as many impact craters are clearly visible. The distant image of Mercury shows a massive 218 km impact crater. The crater was given the name Manly by the International Astronomical Union after the Jamaican artist Edna Manly. The bottom of Manly Crater is overflowing with smooth lava, suggesting volcanic activity on Mercury. BepiColombo said it plans to further explore the crater in the future. The next time BepiColombo will resume exploring Mercury is its fourth swing by, scheduled for September 5, 2024. The rover has a big job ahead of it, a thrust arc sequence to set off an electric propulsion system to counteract the strong gravitational force in the sun, scheduled for August. Bepi Colombo will do this for six weeks. Reaching Mercury is not easy. Because of the sun’s gravity, there are only three probes, including BepiColombo, that have traveled to the innermost planet in the solar system. Launched in 2018, the mission is scheduled to enter orbit around Mercury in 2025. At this time, BepiColombo is separated into two probes. The ESA Mercury Surface Probing Satellite, MPO, will scan the surface and interior structures. Related information can be found here.
