A major milestone in BepiColombo’s journey to Mercury.
After almost eight years in space, the Mercury Transfer Module has completed its job. Following a carefully planned sequence of commands, it separated from the rest of the spacecraft and began drifting away at less than 40 cm per second.
ESA’s MPO and JAXA’s Mio will now continue their journey together towards Mercury, with the teams preparing for arrival over the next seven months.
