Where is SERENA

Here you can follow the SERENA's journey to Mercury in real time. Discover the actual position of BepiColombo in the Solar System. Check the distance from the Earth, from Mercury, from the Sun and the kilometers travelled by the satellite. Run the tool to verify the orbit, the important milestones and to simulate the whole route from launch to the arrival to Mercury.



This interactive 3D tool, developed by the SGS team, shows where the European Space Agency's BepiColombo spacecraft is on any given day from launch in October 2018 to just beyond the end of its cruise phase end on November 2025 to reach Mercury planet. You can watch the entire journey play through or to get the spacecraft’s current position. The information returned tells you how far Bepi Colombo (red track) is from the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Earth and the accumulated distance on its journey.

Discaimer: distances are based on the best values available at the time of preparing this tool and with respect to the center of the planets, but users should be aware that this is not a scientific tool. Note that the proportions and appearances of the planets and BepiColombo are not true representations, and no indication is given about the planet rotations.
