Scientific paper

Returning to Mercury with the BepiColombo mission will provide a unique opportunity to obtain in situ information on the electric field in Mercury's magnetosphere. The electric field plays a crucial role for plasma transport in the magnetosphere, for transfer of energy between different parts of the system, and for propagation of information. Measuring the electric field, we will be better able to understand plasma motion and wave propagation in Mercury's plasma environment. Together with magnetic field measurements a better understanding will be achieved of the magnetospheric current systems and their closure at or near the planetary surface. Further insight into possible substorms as well as radiation belts will be gained.
