I’m #hiring. Know anyone who might be interested? #BepiColombo #INAF https://t.co/6us2yB5zT4

"One thing is certain: we can expect the unexpected."

After launching into orbit last month, our #IXPE observatory is taking its first look at the polarized X-rays of our universe—starting with the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A: https://t.co/eXOiHlsKoC

#Ixpe inaugura la sua missione scientifica: il satellite per lo studio della polarizzazione dei raggi X parte studiando #CassiopeiaA, resto di supernova a 11.000 anni luce dalla noi. Ixpe nasce dalla collaborazione @NASA/#Asi con contributo #Inaf e @INFN_.

The moment you’ve been waiting for..🥁🥁..my first #MercuryFlyby hit singles! This one is called ‘How a spacecraft feels during a flyby’ and captures the feeling as we flew through Mercury’s shadow, plus the sound of one my science instruments!

If you want to go in details inside the @ESA_Bepi #VenusFlyby number 2, this is the right page for you.

Enjoy!!!

Of course ask for question if you still have!!

Gran traffico intorno a Venere. Ieri il flyby di @ESASolarOrbiter, oggi quello di @BepiColombo. Alle 15.48 italiane la sonda diretta verso Mercurio passerà ad appena 550 km dal pianeta

[Bep-it! @bepit_outreach]

Did you know? There will be tidal effects on @ESA_Bepi when passing close to #Venus!!
During the upcoming #venusflyby, each point onboard will be attracted differently by the planet. This very small difference can be measured by #ISA accelerometer

[Bepi @ESA_Bepi]

Nearly there! 😃

@ESA_Bepi @pholeynik @EmiliaKilpua @ASI_spazio @INAF_IAPS A micro meteoroid is a possible explanantion, but we should first exclude possible internal sources such as mechanisms activation.

[Bepi @ESA_Bepi]

Earthlings! It's here! My new song! I'm so nervous. It's so difficult to follow up a hit. Anyway. I'm thinking to call it The Earth is Near. I recorded it with my ISA accelerometer as I approached Earth on 9 April. What do you think? Thanks @ASI_spazio @INAF_IAPS @Fra__Santoli

[Francesco Santoli @Fra__Santoli]

Measures by #ISAccelerometer on @ESA_Bepi of Sun radiation being shielded by Earth. Ripples entering & exiting eclipse are @ESA_MTM oscillations due to torque of thrust on Solar Array. As a vessel encountering a wind lull ...head to #Mercury...where stormier weather expects us!

#whereisbepinow?
A service to let you know the position of @ESA_Bepi spacecraft in its trip to #Mercury.

[BepiColombo @BepiColombo]

#FunFact this festive season: while you might be thinking about how many reindeer it would take to pull Santa on his sleigh, #BepiColombo’s propulsion – with 2 thrusters firing & generating 125mN of thrust – is equivalent to about 125 ants pulling our 4 ton spacecraft! #AntPower

[Francesco Santoli @Fra__Santoli]

Many years of work rewarded by 45 extraordinary hours!
#ISAccelerometer on board @ESA_Bepi is in great shape! We commanded the power-on from @esaoperations at 13:26 UTC on Monday and received data are promising. @BepiColombo #ESAoperations @mediaINAF @bepit_outreach @bepi_MTM
