Brute force at work. A European Arianne 5 rocket lifts off from Kourou. For Bepi Colombo Europe’s first mission to Mercury the real journey has begun. Its seven-and-a-half-year flight is a major challenge in orbital mechanics and will see it reach the samallest and inner most planet in our Solar System in 2025. There it’s discovery mission will really begin. #solarsystem
