FIRST SIGNAL RECEIVED from #BepiColombo, detected by @ESA's antenna at #NewNorcia, Australia. With these first words, engineers at #ESOC can monitor the status & execution of the autonomous activities onboard the spacecraft

Всё путем, СБ раскрыты на обоих модулях, солнечная ориентация построена, все подсистемы в норме.

Andrea Accomazzo: "Telemetry flowing and separation sequence running". #ESOC team monitoring on-board autonomous sequence, now at the point of solar array release on both @ESA_MTM and @ESA_Bepi #BepiColombo

What do the engineers at #ESOC look at? Graphs like this are plotted from the spacecraft telemetry. In this case, we see the currents used in the thermal knives to release the solar arrays. They will spring out, then a set of motors & wires will pull them tight #BepiColombo

SOLARARRAYDEPLOYMENT begins under the control of the automated sequence onboard #BepiColombo

"Dynamic response on @ESA_MTM hold down release" - the solar arrays springing out as the straps that hold them down are cut & arrays pulled out by the motors, causing the spacecraft to wobble a bit as expected. #BepiColombo is now recharging its batteries
