The BepiColombo Project's Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter, MIO, will be operated principally from the Misasa Deep Space Ground Station, which is located in Saku City in the Nagano Prefecture, after the separation into orbit around Mercury in December 2025. Preparations have already begun for the operation that will begin in four years.
