LatHyS global hybrid simulation of the BepiColombo second Venus flyby
André, N.; Fedorov, A.; Sauvaud, J. -A. +23 more
Plasma and magnetic field observations by BepiColombo during its 2nd Venus flyby in August 10, 2021 have been examined and compared with the newly developed global hybrid simulation LatHyS for the Venusian environment. The LatHyS-Venus simulation was first validated by a comparison with Venus Express observations obtained during average solar wind…
Calibration of ISA accelerometer sensing axes for the BepiColombo mission
Lucente, Marco; Lefevre, Carlo; Fiorenza, Emiliano +3 more
ISA is a three-axis accelerometer embarked on-board BepiColombo, a joint ESA/JAXA space mission launched on the 19th of October 2018 at 22.45 (local time) and devoted to put two spacecraft (MPO and MMO) around Mercury (2025), for a deeper investigation of the planet and its environment. ISA aims at measuring, directly and not by modelli…
Localization of cosmic gamma-ray bursts in interplanetary space with MGNS/BepiColombo and HEND/Mars Odyssey experiments
Golovin, D. V.; Kozyrev, A. S.; Litvak, M. L. +3 more
This paper describes the methods and results for the localization by triangulation of cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) independently observed by two space experiments: the Mercury Gamma-ray and Neutron Spectrometer (MGNS) and the High Energy Neutron Detector (HEND). MGNS is onboard the MPO/BepiColombo mission and on a stage of cruise to Mercury wher…
