How many space probes heve been to Mercury?
2 probes. Mariner 10 orbiter in the 1970s and the current MESSENGER spacecraft which will orbit and map the entire surface.
The first spacecraft to visit Mars?
Mariner 4 (USA) was the first successful fly by mission, which was launched in 1964. Mariner 9 (USA) was the first probe to orbit another planet (Mars) when it entered into orbit around Mars on November 14, 1971. Mars 2 & 3(USSR) were the first probes to "land" on Mars - probably crashed in 1971 Viking 1 & 2 (USA) were the first probes to successfully land in 1976. See related link for more information.

The first of two spacecraft to visit the planet was Mariner 10, which has mapped about 45% of the planet's surface from 1974 to 1975. The second is the MESSENGER spacecraft from NASA, which mapped another 30% during his trip to Mercury January 14, 2008. MESSENGER is now in orbit around Mercury to complete the mapping.
Did any space probes go on mercury?
Yes, space probes have visited Mercury. The first was Mariner 10, which flew by the planet three times in the 1970s, providing the first close-up images and data about its surface and environment. More recently, the MESSENGER spacecraft orbited Mercury from 2011 to 2015, delivering extensive information about its geology, magnetic field, and atmosphere. These missions significantly enhanced our understanding of the innermost planet in our solar system.
What series of space probes that photographed Mars?
