TL;DR
Life on Mercury
Will the 2025 BepiColumbo mission be able to detect any indications of potential past or current microbial life on Mercury?

Welcome to PF.

What have you found in your researching so far? Is that in the mission objectives?

If it is in the mission objectives, what kind of microbial life would be able to survive in those temperatures?
