Who's the crew?

 That's TMac3000. He is our commander, and the creator of this project. Yesterday, he did the orbit insertion around Mercury!

  And here is me! Felipi1205. I'm the solar specialist number one, and I was the pilot of the Lunar mission during the first days.

  RickD is our solar specialist number two. He is going to help me during the deployment of the base, and he helped during the orbit insertion.

  Mojoey is from the Geology team. He was the commander of the Lunar Mission, and took us back on the same mission...

And Finally, Lydia. She is working in the Geology team.

 Soon I'll post about the spacecraft, the mission and the base....

We're around Mercury!

Today, the spacecraft Odyssey entered in the orbit, after a long burn (20 minutes!). The burn started at 01:09:28 UTC. The spacecraft will get closer, and we will explore the planet in the next hours. Tomorrow, we will land in the planet!
 Now, Tmac3000, our commander, is lowering the periapsis. We will see our landing site soon... The Solar Team is going to check the level of radiation that is affecting the planet, and see how it's reacting to the solar peak in this year. And the solar team will check the temperature levels in the surface, to see how the surface reacts with the Sun's radiation.  The geology team is going to see the reflection levels, to search for water, or another reflective material.
