ESA mission poised to probe Mercury's mysteries

The European Space Agency (ESA) is gearing up to launch one of the world's most challenging interplanetary missions to Mercury in collaboration with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency on October 19. This exploration is unique as ESA's BepiColombo will be the first mission that will use two orbiters to explore the innermost planet of our solar system from a distance of 400km from the planet.
