Thermo-elastic analyses of the High spatial Resolution Imaging Camera (HRIC), which is part of the spectrometers and imagers for the Mercury Planetary Orbiter BepiColombo Integrated Observatory SYStem suit (SIMBIO-SYS), are carried out to evaluate the effect of thermo-elastic deformation on the pointing error of the camera.
