there were about 7 missions to mercury
The first American space missions were called Mercury missions. These missions aimed to put astronauts into space, gather data on human spaceflight, and pave the way for more ambitious missions. The Mercury program ran from 1960 to 1963.
All of the Mercury missions ended (as did all missions prior to the Shuttle Program) via capsule splashdown and recovery by a Navy carrier in the Pacific Ocean.
There have been no manned missions to Mercury.
MESSENGER is on its way to Mercury and will arrive in 2011
