BepiColombo is an ambitious mission to Mercury, built jointly by ESA (European Space Agency) and JAXA (Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency), and hopes to study both the planet surface and the magnetosphere, giving us further insight into how planets form. The talk will give an overview of some of the daring engineering involved to get to Mercury and survive so close to the sun, and the science interest and instruments on board the spacecraft.
