BepiColombo flight control team take flyby selfie

A few members of the BepiColombo flight control team manage to monitor the spacecraft's Earth flyby, maintain strict social distancing and grab a team selfie all at the same time.

The ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission completed its first flyby on 10 April, as the spacecraft came less than 12 700 km from Earth’s surface at 06:25 CEST, steering its trajectory towards the final destination, Mercury.
