Humans have never set foot on Mercury. In fact, much of the direct observation was done by the Mariner 10 probe that flew by the planet in 1974-1975. Currently the 2004 NASA probe MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging) is studying the planet, and will orbit it in 2011.

∙ 12y agoThe only astronomical body other than Earth that people have landed on is the Moon.
That was done exactly six times, and the last time was almost 40 years ago.
The closest that Mercury can ever get to Earth is 207 times farther than the moon.
There is no planning, engineering, developing, designing, scheduling, experimenting,
researching, or budgeting for a mission to land people on Mercury or any other planet,
and there never has been.

∙ 14y agoThere are two spacecraft who tried to land on the planet mercury.The first of two spacecraft to visit the planet was Mariner 10, which mapped only about 45% of the planet's surface from 1974 to 1975. The second is the MESSENGER spacecraft, which mapped another 30% during its flyby of January 14, 2008.

∙ 12y agoYes, possibly. It would be better to land on the cold side so you don't heat up on the hot side. Or you could stay between the hot/cold side
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoNobody has landed on Mercury. Mercury does not have an atmosphere that can sustain anyone to survive there, even for a short period of time.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo, BUT we humans haves sent more than 45 probes. Just not anough food (it would take Very long...) I hope I helped!
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo. There has been spacecraft landings, but no people.:)
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo, but we have a satellite in orbit called Messenger and the Mariner made an early flyby in the 1970s and went into orbit around the Sun where it could continue to observe Mercury.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. Quite a few robots have landed on Mercury. I think a few have possibly found ice. (I am not 100% sure they have found ice.) Hope this helped :)

Has man ever landed on Saturn?
The furthest Man has gone, is to the Moon. No Man could even land on Saturn as it does not have a surface.
How many satellites have landed on Mercury?
No satellites have landed probes on Mercury, nor are any expected prior to 2016.The spacecraft Mariner 10 flew to Mercury in 1974 and 1975, coming within 703 kilometers (437 miles) of the surface. However, Mariner 10 was only able to photograph one side of Mercury, the same side being in sunlight on each of three fly-by's.The NASA spacecraft MESSENGER flew by Mercury in 2008 and 2009, and has been mapping the entire surface since it began orbiting the planet in 2011.

Yes, the Messenger space probe crash-landed on to Mercury on 30 April 2015.
Has mercury ever been viewed by a man made satellite?
Yes.
