Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, is extremely difficult to study up close. In fact, just one spacecraft, NASA’s MESSENGER, has ever orbited the planet. After an eight-year voyage in space, BepiColombo’s two component science orbiters, which will together observe Mercury, have split off from the spacecraft’s Mercury Transfer Module: the ESA’s Mercury Planetary Orbiter and JAXA’s Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter were released and gave out a strong signal to Earth, according to an ESA livestream of the procedure.
