Looking forward to the Venus visit! Inhaltsverzeichnis einblenden Inhaltsverzeichnis ausblenden We are looking forward to October! Next month, the European-Japanese Mercury Mission BepiColombo will have a short visit to Venus, using the planet for two gravity-assist manoeuvres to get to its destination: Mercury. In April, Bepi did the same on its last flyby of our home planet. That’s why this image, captured by the on-board MCAM cameras, of Bepis last glimpse of Earth is our image of the week.
