The BepiColombo mission will study planet Mercury. It consists of two individual orbiters: the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO), that will map the planet, and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO), that will investigate its magnetosphere.
It should be launch in 2018 and reach Mercury in 2025.
This artist's view shows the two BepiColombo orbiters (MPO and MMO) mounted on top of their transfer module (cruise configuration).
