ALT BepiColombo mission flew past Mercury for the sixth time
ALT Image taken by BepiColombo during its sixth Mercury flyby. Planet Mercury is visible in the background with its grey, cratered, pock-marked surface. In the foreground are some spacecraft parts.

ALT Infographic explaining BepiColombo’s fifth flyby of Mercury. In the centre of the infographic we see the spacecraft flying past the planet. On the left we see the inner Solar System in perspective, with the positions of Mercury, Venus and Earth indicated. On the right we see which of BepiColombo’s instruments will be activated during the flyby.

ALT In the foreground is a grey icy surface, with a small spacecraft stood on the surface. In the background on the right is the planet Saturn. At the top left is an orbiting spacecraft. The surface spacecraft, orbiting spacecraft and Saturn are all partly drawn with blue lines, indicating that they are a future concept.
