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.
