MESSENGER is the current mission to Mercury. The only other mission to that planet was Mariner 10.
There is currently a NASA satellite orbiting Mercury, gathering data on both the planet and the sun.
1974 & 1975
There have been no manned missions to Mercury.
Actually, the element mercury is unrelated to the name of the planet, even though there may be just a little. Both the planet and the metal derive their names from the Roman god Mercury, based on the Greek god Hermes.
We have sent probes that have flown past Saturn. The Cassini space probe is currently in orbit around the planet. It is impossible to land anything on Saturn because it does not have a surface. We have, however, landed a probe on Titan, Saturn's largest moon.
space probes have crossed Pluto's orbit, but never have visited the planet because Pluto was not in alignment with the flight path of the space probes.
Mercury is the planet: there is no raw (or ripe) planet associated with it!

Whoever answered this put a question..retard
Mercury has only been explored by space probes, specifically Mariner 10 in 1973, and MESSENGER in 2004. Unrelated to the planet are the Mercury spy satellite program of the 1990s, and the 1959-1963 human spaceflight program Project Mercury.
As of 2014, humans have not set foot on the planet Mercury. To date, the only probes sent have been Mariner 10 which did a flyby, and the MESSENGER orbiter; both probes from NASA.
There have been no manned missions to Mercury.
No one has every been to Mercury. The furthest man has been is to the Moon. Probes have been sent to Mercury
There were 2: Mariner 10 and MESSENGER. Both are inactive now.
I don't care. Swerve!
Humans have sent space probes to take pictures of Mercury from orbit around the planet, but we have not sent a man to Mercury. Sending people to Mercury would be hard because it is so dangerously close to the sun.

Yes, there are 44 missions.
Yes, NASA has sent a couple of unmanned probes to examine Mercury, Mariner 10 which did a flyby and the MESSENGER orbiter.
