Welcome BepiColombo to Mercury!

Cartoon characters Bepi and Mio are waving to us as they approach Mercury. Bepi represents ESA's Mercury Planetary Orbiter and Mio is JAXA's Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter. Together they are part of the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission. 

This visual was created for the ‘Welcome to Mercury’ social media competition.
