Everyone should send some cheers to Dr. Kidpixo ๐ข๐ฐโ๐๐ง๐ปโจ๏ธ๐๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ฌ๐ง๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต who is doing a tremendous job this week fixing in record time issues coming up during the @mertisonbepi rehearsal




Made it #IAC2018 Donโt miss to visit DLR Exhibitions - where we have flight models of MERTIS on Bepi, BELA, PLATO and more !!!!


Europlanet ๐ช๐บ Dr. Jรถrn Helbert General detectives find the existing clues - however to be #SpaceDetectives we need to create own clues via experiments by building a lab (PSL DLR) & developing instruments (MERTIS on Bepi) to solve a problem which we know sometimes never existed ! Perks of space exploration!

If you are at #IAC2018 come by and see my development model (I was soooo young back then) and talk to @IVaratharajan about all the great science me and my fellow instruments on BepiColombo will do!




Briefing for the switch on, #MERTIS is getting hot on BepiColombo ! The PSL DLR and OS team from DLR_de are here Dr. Jรถrn Helbert Dr. Kidpixo ๐ข๐ฐโ๐๐ง๐ปโจ๏ธ๐๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ฌ๐ง๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต



My first day of operation in space was really excitingโฆ a bit chilly in the beginning, but now with my heater on very comfortable - hope you like all the data I send back Dr. Kidpixo ๐ข๐ฐโ๐๐ง๐ปโจ๏ธ๐๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ฌ๐ง๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต Dr. Jรถrn Helbert

I enjoy my second day operating in space - now that I got used to it my self-diagnostics is โOKโ all the way through - when do we arrive at Mercury?? Iโm ready!! BepiColombo

The next three days my team will do nothing but plan the most perfect observations of Mercury for me, so I can uncover more secrets of the innermost planet BepiColombo BepiColombo SPOT
