It first describes the constraints derived from the orbit of Mercury, the planning of BepiColombo mission, and the design of STC detector; then the possibilities offered by the software commanding the instrument are presented. Building on these constraints and possibilities, an observation strategy based on a “segmented orbit” concept is presented and illustrated with some practical examples.ELETTRONICOenTechnical reportFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_2 Planetary systems sciences
