Abstract

The first global remote X-ray and gamma-ray spectrometry have been proposed for the Bepi Colombo mission, to map abundances of major and radioactive elements on the surface of Mercury. The Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) that orbits around the relatively low altitude (400 x 1500 km) appropriate for surface global mapping. We present the outlines of X-ray and Gamma-ray spectrometers that have been designed with new technologies such as the X-ray detector using GaAs array on ASIC as well as the low-power stirling cryostat for pure germanium Gamma-ray detector.
