      <Description>BepiColombo is Europe's first mission to Mercury. 
        It will set off in 2018 on a journey to the smallest and least explored terrestrial planet in our 
        Solar System. When it arrives at Mercury in late 2025, it will 
        endure temperatures in excess of 350 °C and gather data during its 1 year nominal mission, 
        with a possible 1-year extension. The mission comprises two spacecraft: the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) 
        and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO). BepiColombo is a joint mission between ESA and the Japan Aerospace 
        Exploration Agency (JAXA), executed under ESA leadership.
