今日 MTM が撮った画像が届いたよ🤩 水星の南極とか、底に決して日が当たらない永久影のあるクレーターも画像の上の方に写ってるんだって📸 中には氷もあるの！？水星に着いたら Bepi がいっぱい調べるんだよね😁 #BepiColombo #みお水星スイングバイ

Our #BepiColombo ESA Operations team confirm all went well with our Mercury flyby last night. Now we wait and see what images & data our instrument teams collected! Stay tuned for a selfie-cam update later today. Here's a sneak preview 🤫

BepiColombo is reaching its closest approach to Mercury now during its sixth encounter with the planet. It's 06:58:52 CET, and the spacecraft is 295km from the surface. #bepicolombo

Images and other scientific data from this morning's close approach to Mercury by #bepicolombo are safely on the ground! We'll be sharing images from the closest approach tomorrow.

I will unveil the new images of Mercury tomorrow morning as part of my Annual Press Briefing. Follow along live from 10:00 CET on esawebtv.esa.int

"Scienziati che indicano i dati del benfatto." valemercurii JB Jack Wright #BepiColombo sta inviando la telemetria che mostra la corretta esecuzione del sesto flyby a #Mercurio. I dati scientifici e le immagini del passaggio ravvicinato saranno disponibili domani

On 8 January, at 06:59 CET, Bepi, Mio and MTM got as close as 295 km to Mercury’s surface. This sixth flyby is the last time the #BepiColombo trio greet the planet together 👉 esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…

Oggi la sonda BepiColombo dell’European Space Agency ha sorvolato #Mercurio, arrivando a soli 295 chilometri dalla sua superficie e acquisendo immagini e rilevazioni ambientali.
