The BepiColombo probe, joint mission between the European Space Agency, ESA, and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA, is now starting its incredible journey to Mercury.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003eAfter an adventurous and complex seven-year journey, BepiColombo will help the science community to better understand how the Solar System and how terrestrial planets are formed. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and its evolution history is therefore an important piece in the puzzle. Mercury is a planet of extremes and mysteries, and NASA’s Messenger mission has already highlighted that it is very different to what scientists were expecting for a planet in this location. BepiColombo will provide complementary observations to those already collected by Messenger hopefully helping to understand the various open science questions.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"thales-brick-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://tas-static.thalesaleniaspace.com/database/assets/images/2018-10/BepiColombo_Mercury_Montage_1100.jpg\" alt\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003eThe main difficulty of the BepiColombo mission is to deal with very high temperatures which required\u0026nbsp; the development of special high-temperature technologies. Mercury is only one-third of the distance to the Sun, compared with the Earth, and the solar radiation in orbit around Mercury is estimated to be ten times more intense than near Earth. The space probe will have to withstand temperatures greater than 300°C during its mission close to\u0026nbsp; Mercury, with local excursions on the antenna reflector exceeding\u0026nbsp; 400°C , while the spacecraft's electronics and instruments will have to operate\u0026nbsp; at temperatures ranging from 0° to 40°. It was therefore necessary to develop special materials and devices for all exposed elements, including thermal blankets, thermal radiator, antennas and pointing mechanisms.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003eTaking up a big challenge, Thales Alenia Space coordinated an industrial group of 35 European companies, developed the telecommunications, thermal control and electric power distribution systems, along with integration and testing of the MPO (Mercury Planetary Orbiter), the MTM (Mercury Transfer Module) and the complete satellite until completion of\u0026nbsp; the launch campaign. Thales Alenia Space also supplied\u0026nbsp; the Deep Space Transponder (DST) in X- and Ka-band, the radiofrequency distribution assembly, the onboard computer, the mass memory and the high-gain antenna, a 1.1-meter steerable dish used for satellite-ground communications, as well as for the mission's radio science experiment. This dual band antenna is derived from the antenna developed for the highly successful Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;“Today we are very proud of this important achievement of our Company - said Walter Cugno Vice President Domain Exploration and Science Responsible – For us, Bepi Colombo launch clearly represents a major technological and industrial achievement allowing Thales Alenia Space to undertake the new challenges of ESA exploration missions (Exomars, Euclid, Juice etc.) and to be more competitive at world level. Thanks to our high level of technological expertise, we bolstered our leadership and established our position as a world-class supplier for advanced space programs.
