Translation
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and European Space Agency launched twin Mercury probes, the first non-U.S. Mercury probes, on an Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou space center in French Guiana, South America, in the afternoon of Oct. 19 (morning of Oct. 20 JST). The launch succeeded after the pair separated from the rocket in the sky. The mission will spend seven years cruising toward Mercury and carry out observations aimed at revealing the history of the planet¡¯s formation and its internal structure.
JAXA¡¯s Mercury Magnetosphere Orbiter Mio and ESA¡¯s Mercury Planetary Orbiter, which were developed as part of the Japan-Europe Mercury exploration mission, named BepiColombo, will remain coupled and go around the sun many times before gradually slowing down and approaching Mercury.
The transport module carries engines and ESA controls the flight path, delivering the two units to Mercury in seven years.
