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 space probes have been on mars mercury and venus?
The Mars probes include the Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, Perseverance, and the orbiters Mars Odyssey, Mars Express, MAVEN, and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The Mercury probe is the MESSENGER spacecraft, and the Venus probes include Venera, Magellan, Akatsuki, and Venus Express.
Has any spacecraft ever landed on mercury other than Mariner 10?
Yes, the only other spacecraft to land on Mercury besides Mariner 10 is NASA's MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) spacecraft, which successfully orbited Mercury from 2011 to 2015. MESSENGER had a planned impact on Mercury's surface at the end of its mission.
How many satellites have landed on Mercury?
No satellites have landed probes on Mercury, nor are any expected prior to 2016.The spacecraft Mariner 10 flew to Mercury in 1974 and 1975, coming within 703 kilometers (437 miles) of the surface. However, Mariner 10 was only able to photograph one side of Mercury, the same side being in sunlight on each of three fly-by's.The NASA spacecraft MESSENGER flew by Mercury in 2008 and 2009, and has been mapping the entire surface since it began orbiting the planet in 2011.

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.
Does mercury have satellites and robots what are there names?
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.
What do astronauts wear to survive on Mercury?
Astronauts don't go to Mercury it's too hot and they could send probes or spacecraft there much more cheaply, safely, and easily if they really needed to.

What are the difference between a spacecraft and spaceship?
A spacecraft is a general term referring to any vehicle designed for travel or operation in outer space, including satellites and probes. A spaceship specifically refers to a spacecraft designed to carry humans. So, all spaceships are spacecraft, but not all spacecraft are spaceships.
What spacecraft discovered Mercury?
None. Mercury was discovered before spacecraft were invented.
Has a space shuttle ever visited Mercury?
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.
When will they send probes to mercury?
They have already sent two probes near Mercury: Mariner 10, and MESSENGER. The BepiColombo is a proposed joint mission between JAXA and ESA, which will launch a further two probes.
