| Session Title | Exploring Mercury - From MESSENGER to BepiColombo |
| Main Convener | Dr. Jorn Helbert (German Aerospace Center (DLR), Germany) |
| Co-convener(s) | Prof. Sho Sasaki (Osaka University, Japan) |
| Session Description | The MESSENGER mission has fundamentally changed our view of the innermost planet. MESSENGER has shown us in many ways a very different planet from what we were expecting. With the end of the MESSENGER mission it is now up to BepiColombo to take up the task of answering the fundamental questions that MESSENGER raised and go beyond. This session invites contributions from both the MESSENGER and the BepiColombo team as well as ground based observations and related laboratory measurements. |
