Efter sine utroligt succesrige missioner til Mars, Venus og Titan vil Europa nu udforske Merkur, den planet, der ligger t\u00e6ttest p\u00e5 Solen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

BepiColombo, der er opkaldt efter en ber\u00f8mt italiensk matematiker, der unders\u00f8gte den optimale flyvebane til Merkur, bliver en af de mest komplekse rummissioner, der nogensinde er gennemf\u00f8rt. Tre moduler vil blive sendt af sted mod solsystemets mindste planet \u2013 en europ\u00e6isk rumsonde, en japansk rumsonde og en fremdrivningsenhed, der skal bringe de to rumfart\u00f8jer til Merkur.<\/p>\n

Hvorfor rejse til Merkur? Indtil videre har kun to rumfart\u00f8jer bes\u00f8gt planeten, og store dele af dens overflade er endnu ikke blevet unders\u00f8gt i detaljer. Der er stadig mange sp\u00f8rgsm\u00e5l, som BepiColombo skal besvare. For eksempel: Hvorfor best\u00e5r Merkur hovedsageligt af jern? Hvorfor har den et magnetfelt? Findes der vandis i de kolde, skyggefulde kratere n\u00e6r polerne?<\/p>\n

ESA\u2019s Mercury Planetary Orbiter vil v\u00e6re udstyret med 11 instrumenter. Fra en pol\u00e6r bane vil disse kortl\u00e6gge planetens overflade, unders\u00f8ge dens indre, m\u00e5le sammens\u00e6tningen af dens bjergarter og studere dens tynde atmosf\u00e6re. Det andet rumfart\u00f8j, Japans Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter, vil v\u00e6re udstyret med fem instrumenter til at unders\u00f8ge planetens magnetfelt.<\/p>\n

BepiColombo bliver den f\u00f8rste mission til denne mystiske planet, der best\u00e5r af to rumfart\u00f8jer i kredsl\u00f8b. Opskydningen forventes at finde sted i juli 2016. Efter en lang og kringlet rejse gennem det indre solsystem vil BepiColombo n\u00e5 frem til Merkur i 2024.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
