in 2017 mysterious mercury was also in scientists‘ sights.in our solar system and the closest to the sun, covered in craters, towering cliffs and ageing volcanoes, until now it has been little explored but this year preparations were underway for a major new mission. this is the spacecraft called colombo after a famous italian scientist and the launch will take place in 2018. it is only when you get up close that you get a sense of the size of this huge piece of kit. this is a spacecraft built to withstand extremes, and to get to mercury has to travel towards the sun which means dealing with intense radiation and heat. 0n the surface of mercury temperatures can reach a50 celsius and that is hot enough to melt. the journey will take seven years, arriving at mercury in 2025, once it is there the engine will be jettisoned and two spacecraft will separate, and they will work together to give us our best ever view. we will see its features in incredible detail, and look inside to solve the mystery of what lies at the core of mercury. this is the i
