Résumé
In this study we present the observation of Mercury's inner southern magnetosphere and surrounding regions, never previously explored, as detected by the two ion sensors of the instrument package: 'Search for Exospheric Refilling and Emitted Natural Abundances' (SERENA), named 'Planetary Ion CAMera' (PICAM) and 'Miniaturized Ion Precipitation Analyzer' (MIPA), on board BepiColombo mission during the first Mercury flyby, on 1 st October 2021. Here we show the analysis of the data acquired during this flyby, a glimpse of what we will get from the nominal mission: in particular we observe and describe specific ion features nearby and inside the Hermean environment, like: intermittent high energy signal due to an interplanetary magnetic flux rope; magnetospheric ions with different energy drifting at low altitudes above the planet and determining specific plasma regimes; ion signals detected outside the magnetosphere at low energy.
