no but has been photographed from distance/telescope in space
its at the castle
The space shuttle is an Earth orbit vehicle. No humans have ever travelled to any body other than the Moon (from 1969 to 1972). All other space exploration has been by unmanned probes.
Mariner 10 and Messenger have visited Mercury. BepiColombo by the ESA is planned to be launched in 2013. Mariner 10 provider the first close up photos of the planet. Messenger is "filling" in the gaps not accomplished by Mariner.
No it can't because it is too small and to close to the sun.
Nobody has visited mercury.
Yes, space probes have visited Mercury. NASA's MESSENGER mission orbited Mercury from 2011 to 2015, providing valuable data about the planet's surface, composition, and magnetic field. Additionally, the European Space Agency's BepiColombo mission launched in 2018, which is a joint mission with Japan's JAXA, is currently en route to Mercury for a planned arrival in 2025.
The Mariner 10 has visited mercury 3 times. Its major mission was to photograph Venus but got off orbit and ended up photographing Mercury. After orbiting the sun it met up with Mercury again in 176 days. In another 6 months the Mariner 10 saw Mercury again. All of this happend between 1974-1975.
As of 2021, only two spacecraft have visited Mercury: Mariner 10, which flew by three times in the 1970s, and MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging), which orbited the planet from 2011 to 2015. The European Space Agency's BepiColombo mission is currently en route to Mercury as well.
I'm working on this class project about any probes that has visited Mercury and I need to know how long this probe has been in space so please answer this is due tomorrow!
Mercury does not have any natural satellites. However, it has been visited by two space probes: Mariner 10 in 1974-75 and Messenger in 2011. These are the two spacecraft that have provided most of the information we have about Mercury.
Pluto was the only planet not visited by a space mariner space probe.
