British-built 宇宙船 BepiColombo 逮捕(する)s its first glimpse of Venus as it 完全にするs the first of two flybys of the 惑星 on its way to 水銀柱,温度計
- The BepiColombo 使節団 to 水銀柱,温度計 has 逮捕(する)d its first glimpse of Venus ?
- 素晴らしい 黒人/ボイコット and white 発射s show our 隣人 惑星 as a glossy white orb
- The 宇宙船 is on a seven-year 使節団 to 熟考する/考慮する the closest 惑星 to the Sun
The European Space 機関 (ESA) has 解放(する)d a sequence of images of Venus, taken by its 水銀柱,温度計-bound BepiColombo?宇宙船.?
BepiColombo swung by Venus and 逮捕(する)d its first glimpse of our 即座の planetary 隣人, which appears as a?circular orb, 明白な beneath the (手先の)技術's 器具s.? ?
A flurry of 黒人/ボイコット-and-white snapshots were taken between 7:58am and 2:57pm BST on Wednesday, corresponding to a distance of だいたい 372,000 to 248,000 miles from Venus.?
Another 始める,決める of images taken during an even closer approach in the 早期に hours of Thursday, about 6,660 miles from Venus, give a much larger 見解(をとる) of the 惑星, going from 権利 to left across the field of 見解(をとる).?
The closest approach of the flyby took place at 4:58am on Thursday morning, the ESA 確認するd in a 報告(する)/憶測.??
The British-built (手先の)技術, which 開始する,打ち上げるd in 2018, is now adjusting its course on the way to 水銀柱,温度計, the solar system's smallest and innermost 惑星, which it should reach by December 2025.??

The BepiColombo 使節団 is 指名するd after the Italian mathematician and engineer Giuseppe (Bepi) Colombo (1920?84).?
Its seven-year 旅行 is a 共同の 使節団 between the ESA and the Japan 航空宇宙学 探検 機関 (JAXA).?
One piece of 器具/備品 on board, the 水銀柱,温度計 Imaging X-ray Spectrometer (MIXS), was built by the University of Leicester and 基金d by the UK Space 機関.
It will work と一緒に a second spectrometer called SIXS to analyse surface composition 経由で fluorescent X-rays when it arrives at 水銀柱,温度計.???
BepiColombo’s first Venus flyby. The second imaging 適切な時期 produced the much larger image of Venus than the first, where it appeared as a small blob
BepiColombo has a 範囲 of コンビナート/複合体 器具/備品 to help 熟考する/考慮する 水銀柱,温度計, but also has three cameras 大(公)使館員d to the 船体 of the spaceship, which?供給する 黒人/ボイコット-and-white snapshots in 1024 x 1024 pixel 決意/決議.
These new images were taken by 監視するing Camera 2 and 3 on?the 水銀柱,温度計 移転 Module (MTM) ? one of three 構成要素s that will separate into 独立した・無所属 宇宙船 upon arrival at 水銀柱,温度計.??
An ESA 活気/アニメーション of all 64 of Wednesday's images together shows Venus, appearing as a small blob, 明確に moving across the field of 見解(をとる) の近くに to the 宇宙船 団体/死体 on the left.?
Then, Venus gets progressively bigger in the field of 見解(をとる), as the 宇宙船 approaches.?
For this 合成物, one image was taken だいたい every three minutes.?
In Thursday's 合成物, which consists of 64 images taken every 52 seconds, the much bigger 発射 of Venus appears in the 最高の,を越す 権利 behind a magnetometer にわか景気 and moves across the field of 見解(をとる) に向かって the 宇宙船’s antenna.?

'に引き続いて the successful Earth flyby where our 器具s worked even better than 推定する/予想するd, we are looking 今後 to see what will come out of the Venus flyby,' said Johannes Benkhoff, ESA’s BepiColombo 事業/計画(する) scientist.?
'We hope to be able to 供給する some atmosphere 気温 and 濃度/密度 profiles, (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) about the 化学製品 composition and cloud cover, and on the 磁石の 環境 interaction between the Sun and Venus.'?
BepiColombo approached Venus for what is known as a gravity 補助装置 or 'slingshot' manoeuvre.
By approaching a 惑星, 衛星s can making use of its gravitational pull to 追加する 勢い,?増加する its velocity and 推進する it onward.?
BepiColombo needs these gravitational slingshots to 始める,決める it on course for 水銀柱,温度計 軌道.?
Together with the 宇宙船’s solar electric propulsion system, they will help steer BepiColombo against the strong gravitational pull of the Sun.
Wednesday's flyby is the second gravity 補助装置 of Venus that the 宇宙船 needs for its seven-year trip to 水銀柱,温度計.??
The next flyby, planned for August 10, 2021, will see the 宇宙船 pass within just 340 miles of Venus' surface?? around the same distance as between London and Edinburgh?? which will make for a much bigger and more 詳細(に述べる)d 発射 of our rocky 隣人.?

BepiColombo will later make six flybys of 水銀柱,温度計 itself to slow 負かす/撃墜する before its arrival at its 政治家s in 2025.?
The ESA has 述べるd the $1.5 billion 使節団 as one of its most challenging yet 予定 to?水銀柱,温度計's extreme 気温s, the 激しい gravity pull of the Sun and blistering solar 放射(能).

After arrival at 水銀柱,温度計, the 宇宙船 will separate and its two orbiters?? the ESA’s 水銀柱,温度計 Planetary Orbiter (MPO) and JAXA's 水銀柱,温度計 Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO).?
Both will manoeuvre to their 献身的な polar 軌道s around the 惑星?? MPO will 急襲する into 水銀柱,温度計's inner 軌道 while MMO will gather data from a greater distance.
Both 調査(する)s are designed to 対処する with 気温s of both extremes ? 変化させるing from 806°F (430°C) on the 味方する 直面するing the sun, and -292°F (-180°C) in 水銀柱,温度計´s 影をつくる/尾行する.?
Af ter arrival at 水銀柱,温度計 in late 2025, the 宇宙船 will separate and its two orbiters ? the ESA’s 水銀柱,温度計 Planetary Orbiter (MPO) and the Japan 航空宇宙学 探検 機関's 水銀柱,温度計 Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO), both with different 軌道s and 軌道 durations

BepiColombo 開始する,打ち上げるd from French Guiana 船内に an Ariane 5 ロケット/急騰する on October 20, 2018, and made a flyby of Earth on April 10 this year, 配達するing some poignant pictures of our 惑星 in the 中央 of coronavirus lockdown.??

The last 宇宙船 to visit 水銀柱,温度計 was 航空宇宙局's Messenger 調査(する), which ended its 使節団 in 2015 after a four-year 軌道.?
Before that, 航空宇宙局's 水夫 10 flew past the 惑星 in the 中央の-1970s.??
