Consisting of three modules, BepiColombo probe will provide maps of Mercury surface and inner structure as well as new data on its exosphere and magnetosphere.
EREMS have collaborated with LATMOS to develop the "Data Processing Unit" and the PHEBUS high-voltage power supplies (located on the European module MPO), an Ultraviolet spectrometer that will contribute to a better knowledge of the atmosphere of Mercury.
