Space adventurers Bepi, Mio and MTM have just one year to go until they reach Mercury. What have they been up to since their journey began in 2018?

Hear from mission scientist Colin Snodgrass in his interview with @earthskyscience.bsky.social talking all things Comet Interceptor 🚀☄️
It seems we won't send a #spacecraft out to take a closer look at 3I/ATLAS because it would take too long to get such a mission ready to #launch. But what if we "parked" a spacecraft out in orbit, primed to chase after exciting objects like 3I/ATLAS as soon as we spot them?

We had an exciting time at ESA ESOC yesterday watching these beautiful images arrive. These already amazing views are from engineering monitoring cameras;the science cameras will give us far better images after arrival in orbit in late 2026. #BepiColombo #planetaryscience
