Po izjemno uspe\u0161nih misijah na Mars, Venero in Titan bo Evropa raziskovala Merkur, planet, ki je najbli\u017eji Soncu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Misija BepiColombo, poimenovana po znanem italijanskem matematiku, ki je raziskoval najbolj\u0161o letalno pot do Merkurja, bo ena najbolj zapletenih vesoljskih misij v zgodovini. K najmanj\u0161emu planetu v Oson\u010dju bodo izstrelili tri module \u2013 evropski orbiter, japonski orbiter in pogonski modul, ki bo obe vesoljski plovili popeljal do Merkurja.<\/p>\n

Zakaj odpotovati na Merkur? Doslej sta ta planet obiskali le dve vesoljski plovili, zato je velik del njegove povr\u0161ine \u0161e vedno podrobno nepreu\u010den. BepiColombo mora \u0161e odgovoriti na \u0161tevilna vpra\u0161anja. Na primer: zakaj je Merkur v glavnem sestavljen iz \u017eeleza? Zakaj ima magnetno polje? Ali je v hladnih, sen\u010dnih kraterjih blizu njegovih polov mogo\u010de najti vodni led?<\/p>\n

ESA-jeva sonda \u00bbMercury Planetary Orbiter\u00ab bo opremljena z 11 instrumenti. Ti bodo iz polarne orbite kartirali povr\u0161ino planeta, raziskovali zna\u010dilnosti njegovega notranjega dela, merili sestavo njegovih kamnin ter preu\u010devali njegovo redko atmosfero. Druga sonda, japonska sonda \u00bbMercury Magnetospheric Orbiter\u00ab, bo opremljena s petimi instrumenti za preu\u010devanje magnetnega polja planeta.<\/p>\n

BepiColombo bo prva misija na ta skrivnostni planet, ki jo bo sestavljala dvojica orbiterjev. Izstrelitev je predvidena za julij 2016. Po dolgem, ovinkastem potovanju skozi notranji del Oson\u010dja bo BepiColombo leta 2024 dosegel Merkur.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
