#BepiColomboEarthFlyby

Hello Earthlings! It's been a week already, but I can't stop thinking about the wonderful views of Earth I got to enjoy during my flyby. So I put together a video! I hope it brings you some joy, my friends. Take care and stay safe #BepiColomboEarthFlyby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mXAklXHJpA …pic.twitter.com/o56Ss0mH8Y

#BepiColombo completed its first flyby, coming less than 12,700 km from Earth’s surface at 06:25 CEST this morning, steering its trajectory towards the final destination, Mercury, and taking stunning images of our planet #BepiColomboEarthFlyby Full story: http://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/BepiColombo/BepiColombo_takes_last_snaps_of_Earth_en_route_to_Mercury …pic.twitter.com/YVIY3WfwjS

As BepiColombo swung by Earth last Friday, telescopes around the world observed it for the very last time. The Kryoneri Observatory in Greece took this parting shot as the spacecraft got further and further from home, on its way to Mercury #BepiColomboEarthFlyby pic.twitter.com/UcuyhUbT7r

This image was taken by the ESA/JAXA @BepiColombo spacecraft as it approached Earth last night at 22:04 BST/23:04 CEST, 9 April, from around 128 000 km away http://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2020/04/BepiColombo_closing_in_on_Earth_ahead_of_flyby6 … #BepiColomboEarthFlyby pic.twitter.com/orcMCOjoKu

Now I can tell you what we all were smiling about yesterday - the first spectrogram of the #Moon obtained by @MERTISonBepi on @BepiColombo during #BepiColomboEarthFlyby - and it looks fantastic!! @DLR_de @DLR_en @WWU_Muensterpic.twitter.com/xyAn01HBZc

Let's talk about my science for a bit! I'm delighted to report that I've exceeded expectations during #bepicolomboearthflyby. Next stop Venus and also some cool work with my bro @ESASolarOrbiter http://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/BepiColombo/Earth_flyby_opens_new_science_opportunities_for_BepiColombo …pic.twitter.com/1g30vUJpwR

I caught @BepiColombo during Earth flyby this morning! Very faint&drowned in moonlight, had to tweak my images. (EOS 6D+200mm, 30s @ ISO1600, f/4. Location: #LaPalma, #Spain. The bright stars are Lambda and Upsilon Sco) @europlanetmedia @esa #BepiColomboEarthFlyby #BepiColombopic.twitter.com/D7f1J1v116

Let's look at the key operations that will take place before, during and after the #BepiColomboEarthFlyby in the early hours of the morning, 10 April https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2020/04/BepiColombo_s_first_and_only_Earth_flyby …pic.twitter.com/X4pMF4Ljtv

Thanks to @Slooh telescopes, I've been able to catch @BepiColombo as it flew by Earth this morning. This image was taken with the C2 Wide-Field telescope. #BepiColomboEarthFlyby pic.twitter.com/Us3XsSdbHJ

Despite the #COVID19 lockdown, we've continued with the #BepiColomboEarthflyby, debris avoidance manoeuvres and even a major power failure, on top of routine, day-to-day #operations – all with the vast majority of teams at home Watch the full video here: http://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/2020/05/Mission_controllers_maintain_the_service#.Xs40PaSsfwM.link …pic.twitter.com/oE2bMIq3fu
