The Influence of Dynamic Solar Oblateness on Tracking Data Analysis from Past and Future Mercury Missions

When the BepiColombo spacecraft arrives at Mercury in late 2025, it will be able to measure the orbit of the planet with unprecedented accuracy, allowing for more accurate measurements of the perihelion advance of the planet, as predicted by the Theory of General Relativity (GR). A similar effect is...
