The radio science experiment of the ESA mission BepiColombo (MORE, Mercury Orbiter Radio science Exper- iment) is devoted to the estimation of Mercury’s gravity field with unprecedented accuracy, by means of highly stable, multi-frequency radio links in X and Ka band, provided by the Ka band transponder (KaT) on-board the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO). The estimation of gravity field coefficients and planetary tidal deformation with radio science experiment will provide fundamental constraints for modelling planet interior, but additional analysis can be carried out in order to verify whether radio science can give a significant contribution in the study of other physical phenomena, like for example crustal thickening due to tectonic phenomena. This work reports the accuracy obtainable by the MORE experiment.
Il lavoro presentato ha come scopo la determinazione dell sensibilità di stima della anomali gravitazionali nell'emisfero sud di Mercurio per mezzo dell'esperimento di radio scienza della futura missione europea BepiColombo a Mercurio.

Abstract
The radio science experiment of the ESA mission BepiColombo (MORE, Mercury Orbiter Radio science Exper- iment) is devoted to the estimation of Mercury’s gravity field with unprecedented accuracy, by means of highly stable, multi-frequency radio links in X and Ka band, provided by the Ka band transponder (KaT) on-board the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO). The estimation of gravity field coefficients and planetary tidal deformation with radio science experiment will provide fundamental constraints for modelling planet interior, but additional analysis can be carried out in order to verify whether radio science can give a significant contribution in the study of other physical phenomena, like for example crustal thickening due to tectonic phenomena. This work reports the accuracy obtainable by the MORE experiment.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
