Get the sail closer to the sun and, not surprisingly, efficiency increases. A proposed new mission called Mercury Scout aims to take advantage of this to explore Mercury. The mission will map the Mercurian surface down to a resolution of 1 meter and, using the highly reflective sail surface to illuminate shadowed craters, could hunt for water deposits.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2024-03-mercury-destination-solar.html\">Go to Source<\/a><br \/>\nAuthor: <\/p>\n<div>Space exploration news and updates.
