Arianespace has successfully launched the BepiColombo spacecraft on its mission to explore Mercury, the smallest and least known terrestrial planet in the Solar System.

This launch, the seventh of the year and the fifth with Ariane 5, took place on Friday, October 19 at 10:45 p.m. (local time) from the Guiana Space Center (CSG), Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, South America.

BepiColombo is an interdisciplinary scientific mission designed to study the planet Mercury, carried out jointly by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

With this launch for ESA, Arianespace continues to guarantee independent and reliable access to space for Europe, while also expanding humankind’s knowledge of the Universe to make life better on Earth.
