Physics taster: why is reaching Mercury so difficult?

StudentsVirtual

Join Professor Suzie Imber to learn about BepiColumbo, Europe’s first mission to Mercury. Discover why reaching the Solar System’s innermost planet is so difficult, how the mission’s two spacecraft will separate and enter orbit, and how they’re designed to withstand Mercury’s extreme temperatures and high radiation. You’ll also hear about the contribution of University of Leicester scientists to MIXS, an X-ray instrument that will map Mercury’s surface chemistry and investigate its aurora.
