BepiColombo/ MERTIS

The MERTIS (MErcury Radiometer and Thermal Infrared Spectrometer) is a scientific instrument for ESA's BepiColombo deep-space mission. BepiColombo was launched to Mercury in 2018 and will observe the planet from 2023 after more than 5 years of flight. The instrument design, developed by the DLR Institute of Optical Sensor Systems in Berlin, is based on a novel and highly integrated instrument concept with a very low mass of only 3 kg and low power consumption.
