Exploration of Mercury

The exploration of Mercury has played only a minor role in the space interests of the world. It is the least explored inner planet . [1] As of 2015, the Mariner 10 and MESSENGER missions have been the only missions that have made close observations of Mercury. MESSENGER made three flybys before entering orbit around Mercury. [2] A third mission to Mercury, BepiColombo , a joint mission between the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the European Space Agency , is to include two probes . MESSENGER and BepiColombo are intended to gather complementary data to help scientists understand many of the mysteries discovered by Mariner 10 ' s flybys.

The exploration of Mercury has taken only a minor role in the space interests of the world. It is the least explored inner planet (JHU/APL, 2006). As of 2007, the Mariner 10 mission has been the only mission that has made close observations of Mercury. Another satellite , MESSENGER , is currently en route to Mercury to further investigate the observations made by Mariner 10 in 1975 (Munsell, 2006b). A third mission to Mercury, BepiColombo , is to include two probes and a lander . BepiColombo is a joint mission between Japan and the European Space Agency . MESSENGER and BepiColombo are intended to gather complementary data to help scientists understand many of the mysteries discovered by Mariner 10’s flybys .
