The BepiColombo thrusters located in the Mercury Transfer Module switch off permanently, marking the end of solar electric propulsion.

The four composite BepiColombo spacecraft is approaching Mercury. Solar electric propulsion thrusters are turned off, priming the spacecraft for the beginning of complex planetary arrival sequence.

The BepiColombo mission team eagerly gathers at ESOC's Main Control Room waiting to receive signal confirmation of the successful shutdown of the spacecraft's solar electric propulsion system.

The European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Commission signed a joint declaration on In-Space Operations and Services (ISOS), signalling a shared ambition to build European leadership in in-orbit servicing.

Flash detection by MTG-LI of the widely observed fireball from 8 March 2026.

MTG-LI detection of 22 January 2026 fireball over the Gulf of Aden. The observed signal shows a gradual increase in brightness as the meteor penetrates deeper into the atmosphere, before rapidly fading as it fragments or burns up.
