The MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission, a part of NASA's Discovery Program, was designed to answer six questions [1]: (1) What planetary formational processes led to Mercury's high ratio of metal to silicate? (2) What is the geological history...
Messenger, U.S. spacecraft that studied Mercury’s surface and environment. The name was selected in honour of ancient Greek observers who perceived Mercury in its 88-day orbit of the Sun and named it for the messenger of the gods (Hermes, known to the R
[Infographic: NASA's MESSENGER Mission to Mercury] Additionally, MESSENGER began measuring the depths of craters around the north pole of Mercury, hunting for evidence that there could be spots in permanent shadow from the sun. MESSENGER's primary mission to Mercury ended in March 2012, but the...
The MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission to Mercury offers our first opportunity to explore this planet's miniature magnetosphere since the brief flybys of Mariner 10. Mercury's magnetosphere is unique in many respects. The magnetosphere of Mercury is amo...
EST, the MESSENGER mission to Mercury began with liftoff of the Delta II 7925H launch vehicle and 1,107-kg spacecraft including seven instruments. MESSENGER is the seventh in the series of NASA Discovery missions, the third to be built and operated by The Johns Hopkins University Applied ...
The unprecedented orbital operations are yielding new insights into the nature and evolution of Mercury. The scientific questions that frame the MESSENGER mission led to the mission measurement objectives to be achieved by the seven payload instruments and the radio science experiment. Interweaving the ...
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 ...
