The Mission
Dr. Chen was nervous. He was about to embark on the most daring mission of his life. He was going to explore the possibility of life on Mercury.
He had been fascinated by Mercury ever since he read a study that suggested there might be life on the planet in some holes (probably on the poles) where the temperature was much lowerĀ¹. The study claimed that these holes, or craters, could harbor water ice and organic molecules that could support microbial lifeĀ¹. Dr. Chen wanted to find out if this was true.
He had spent years developing a robotic probe that could withstand the harsh conditions on Mercury and drill into the craters. He had named it Hermes, after the Greek messenger god who was also the patron of travelers and thieves. He hoped Hermes would be able to deliver him a message of discovery and steal a glimpse of a hidden world.
He was now sitting in the control room of the European Space Agency, where he had collaborated with other scientists and engineers to launch Hermes. The probe had been orbiting Mercury for a few weeks, mapping the surface and selecting the best landing site. It had finally chosen a crater near the north pole, where the temperature was around -170 degrees CelsiusĀ². It was time to land.
Dr. Chen watched the screen as Hermes descended towards the crater. He held his breath as the probe activated its thrusters and slowed down. He saw a flash of light as Hermes touched down on the icy surface. He exhaled and smiled. Hermes had landed safely.
He waited for a few minutes as Hermes checked its systems and instruments. He then sent a command to Hermes to start drilling. He watched as Hermes extended its drill and began to bore into the ice. He hoped to find some signs of water or organic matter.
He waited for an hour as Hermes drilled deeper and deeper. He checked the data that Hermes was sending back. He saw nothing but ice and dust. He felt a pang of disappointment. Maybe there was no life on Mercury after all.
He was about to give up when he saw something that made his eyes widen. Hermes had detected a faint signal of heat coming from below the ice. It was very weak, but it was there. It could mean only one thing. There was something alive down there.
Dr. Chen felt a surge of excitement and curiosity. He sent another command to Hermes to drill faster and deeper. He wanted to see what was hiding under the ice. He wanted to see the life on Mercury.
