Uh-oh! BepiColombo, the joint ESA/JAXA mission to Mercury, has experienced an issue that is preventing the spacecraft’s thrusters from operating at full power.
#BepiColombo uses solar arrays and electric propulsion to generate thrust during its complex journey from Earth to Mercury.
After a problem on Apr 26, electrical power from the Transfer Module was restored to 90%, but it is not sufficient for full thrust.
