The Mercury Imaging X-ray Spectrometer on Bepicolombo
This paper describes the Mercury Imaging X-ray Spectrometer (MIXS),one of eleven experiments on the European Space Agency BepiColombo mission to the planet Mercury. MIXS is under development by a consortium of UK, Spanish, German, Finnish and French institutes and companies. I am lead author on this many-author paper by virtue of my leadership of this international consortium, as instrument Principal Investigator. The total budget for MIXS is around 20Meuro ; the principles of its innovative low-mass design are largely mine. Google Scholar lists 43 citations to this paper in three years (IRIS lists none because the paper has had to be manually entered into the system).
