Some exciting stuff to look forward to this weekend: #ESA's and #JAXA's #BepiColombo will make its fifth #Mercury flyby on Sunday!
▶️ https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2024/11/BepiColombo_s_fifth_Mercury_flyby
Flybys are not just exiting because of all the flight dynamics & trajectory magic, but also because we can actually use them to do science! For example, during the third flyby, scientists were able to map the magnetosphere of Mercury:

1. Infographic explaining BepiColombo’s fifth flyby of Mercury. In the centre of the graphic we see the spacecraft flying past the planet. On the left we see the inner Solar System in perspective, with the positions of Mercury, Venus and Earth indicated. On the right we see which of BepiColombo’s instruments will be activated during the flyby.

  Mercury’s magnetic landscape mapped in 30 minutes
  As BepiColombo sped past Mercury during its June 2023 flyby, it encountered a variety of features in the tiny planet’s magnetic field. These measurements provide a tantalising taste of the mysteries that the mission is set to investigate when it arrives in orbit around the Solar System’s innermost planet.
