Testing General Relativity with the Radio Science Experiment of the BepiColombo mission to Mercury
The relativity experiment is part of the Mercury Orbiter Radio science Experiment (MORE) on-board the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury. Thanks to very precise radio tracking from the Earth and accelerometer, it will be possible to perform an accurate test of General Relativity, by constraining a number of post-Newtonian and related parameters with an unprecedented level of accuracy. The ...
متن کاملConstraining the Nordtvedt parameter with the BepiColombo Radioscience experiment
BepiColombo is a joint ESA/JAXA mission to Mercury with challenging objectives regarding geophysics, geodesy, and fundamental physics. The Mercury Orbiter Radioscience Experiment (MORE) is one of the on-board experiments, including three different but linked experiments: gravimetry, rotation, and relativity. The aim of the relativity experiment is the measurement of the post-Newtonian parameter...
متن کاملApproximate Symmetries of Interplanetary Orbit Determination. the Bepicolombo Case
The Radio science experiment of the BepiColombo mission to the planet Mercury shall allow to solve for the gravity field of the planet up to degree and order 25, for an improved orbit of Mercury and a very accurate verification of Einstein’s theory of gravitation, for measuring the rotation state of the planet, for mapping the topography (in combination with a laser altimeter). To actually obta...
متن کاملLight-time computations for the BepiColombo radioscience experiment
The radioscience experiment is one of the on board experiment of the Mercury ESA mission BepiColombo that will be launched in 2014. The goals of the experiment are to determine the gravity field of Mercury and its rotation state, to determine the orbit of Mercury, to constrain the possible theories of gravitation (for example by determining the post-Newtonian (PN) parameters), to provide the sp...
متن کاملThe BepiColombo Laser Altimeter (BELA): Concept and baseline design
The BepiColombo Laser Altimeter (BELA) has been selected for flight on board the European Space Agency’s BepiColombo Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO). The experiment is intended to be Europe’s first planetary laser altimeter system. Although the proposed system has similarities to the Mercury Laser Altimeter (MLA) currently flying on board NASA’s MESSENGER mission to Mercury, the specific orbit ...
