What satellites or robots have explored Mercury?
NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft and the European Space Agency's BepiColombo mission are the main spacecraft that have explored Mercury. MESSENGER orbited Mercury from 2011 to 2015, providing detailed data and images of the planet. BepiColombo, a joint mission between ESA and JAXA, was launched in 2018 and is in the process of studying Mercury's surface and magnetic field.

What is the difference between 'spacecraft' and 'space shuttle'?
A spacecraft is a general name for a vehicle that can be launched into space. The space shuttles are a particular type of NASA spacecraft used for the Space Transportation System programme to move people, supplies and parts into space and back again. Also the reason why spacecrafts are more versatile than a spacecraft is that a space shuttle allows a living organism to live in space for a long period of time. While the spacecraft orbits around the earth several times and then comes back down to earth.
What was the Gemini project?
Series of 12 two person spacecraft launched into earth orbit by the U.S. between 1964 and 1967, following the one person Mercury program and before the three person Apollo program.
