Earth Flyby
2020

Offering a cover serviced for esa bepicolombo mercury spacecraft earth flyby, goddard space flight center, cancelled gsfc greenbelt md 10-april-2020.On april 10 2020 the european-japanese mercury mission bepicolombo spacecraft zoomed past the earth during its first and only earth flyby. This image was taken at 03:33 utc on 10 april 2020, shortly before the closest approach, from around 19 000 km away. Launched into an orbit around the sun in october 2018, bepicolombo returned to earth to take advantage of its gravity to steer its trajectory deeper into the inner solar system. The spacecraft was visible during the manoeuvre to astronomers, including amateurs, equipped with small telescopes and located south of rome and madrid. The earth flyby was the first of nine gravity-assist manoeuvres that will help bepicolombo to gradually home in on its target orbit around the smallest and innermost planet of the solar system.
