  • BepiColombo, a joint mission by ESA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA, will make its sixth flyby of Mercury in January 2025. This maneuver will help the spacecraft enter orbit around Mercury by November 2026. BepiColombo aims to study Mercury's composition, atmosphere and surface geology.

The year 2025 is poised to be a landmark year for space exploration with several significant missions planned. NASA's Artemis II mission, set for November 2024, will see astronauts orbit the Moon, paving the way for future lunar landings. Following this, the Artemis III mission, targeted for 2025 or 2026, aims to return humans to the lunar surface, marking the first human presence on the Moon since the Apollo missions. Additionally, the European Space Agency (ESA) plans to launch the Hera mission to study the Didymos asteroid system, providing insights into planetary defense strategies. The James Webb Space Telescope will continue its operations, potentially unveiling more about the universe's early galaxies and exoplanets. Moreover, private companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are expected to advance their space tourism and Mars exploration initiatives, with SpaceX's Starship potentially conducting its first crewed missions to Mars or the Moon. These endeavors collectively promise to expand our understanding of space and our capabilities in exploring it.
