We have analyzed MESSENGER multispectral images of Mercury in order to gain information on the nature of materials present on the planet's surface. The quantitative analysis tools of Lucey, which are built on the Hapke conceptual framework for the reflectance of a silicate regolith, allow us to ...
NASA’s Messenger probe returned images of new regions of Mercury on Tuesday, after a flyby that took the spacecraft within 200 kilometers of the planet’s surface. See a slideshow of the new images of Mercury Team members are now converting raw data from the 6 October flyby into images....
NASA's Messenger spacecraft is the first dedicated to orbiting Mercury, the solar system's innermost planet. Messenger has flown by Mercury 3 times before arriving in Mercury orbit.
MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space Environment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) is a NASA (Discovery class) space mission which flew by Mercury three times in 2008/2009 before going in an orbit around our innermost planet in March 2011. It stayed in orbit for over 4 years before it intentionally cr...

At the time of this writing, the initial analyses have just...
The MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft, launched in August 2004 under NASA's Discovery Program, was inserted into orbit about the planet Mercury in March 2011. MESSENGER's three flybys of Mercury in 2008-2009 marked the first spacecraft visits ...
National Aeronautics and Space Administration has sent the Messenger spacecraft to Mercury. This is the first mission to Mercury after more than 20 years. The Mariner 10 spacecraft was sent to Mercury in 1974 and 1975. The Messenger has already sent back new images of dense rocky surface of ...
bag a majority of the time. Mercury also has winged sandals made of gold that carried him swiftly about. He is also attributed to the rooster in many of his images. Mercury was also credited with dice, astronomy, fire, and the first forms of weights and measurements in Ancient Roman ...
Mercury-solar-day nominal mission: a monochrome global image mosaic at near-zero emission angles and moderate incidence angles, a stereocomplement map at off-nadir geometry and near-identical lighting, multicolor images at low incidence angles, and targeted high-resolution images of key surface ...
A hung-over Regan pulls local Lothario Lukey Sparrow for his part in the theft of thirty thousand pounds worth of mercury. The boy has an alibi - he was in bed with a married woman, but wants it kept quiet, as he is getting wed next day, ...See more ...
