Two spacecraft have been sent to Mercury: Mariner 10 in 1974 and MESSENGER in 2004. MESSENGER orbited Mercury from 2011 to 2015, providing valuable data on the planet's geology, magnetosphere, and surface composition. The European Space Agency's BepiColombo mission, launched in 2018, is currently en route to Mercury and is expected to arrive in 2025.
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.
There has been only one space probe which [crash] landed on Mercury, and that was Messenger.
There has never been a NASA exploration mission to the surface of Mercury, but the MESSENGER spacecraft has been in orbit and taking pictures of the planet since 2008.Before that, in 1974, the "Mariner 10" probe took photos of 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.
Space Patrol - 1950 Mission to Mercury 2-25 was released on: USA: 21 June 1952
The first and only American space mission to Mercury was the MESSENGER spacecraft, which was launched in 2004 and entered orbit around Mercury in 2011. MESSENGER provided valuable data on Mercury's surface composition, magnetic field, and exosphere before its mission ended in 2015.

Here to the question is not at all clear . Which mission are you asking about. The Mercury, the Gemini or the Apollo mission, or are you asking of the Skylab mission or the Space Shuttle mission?
No space probe has ever landed on 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.
No, not yet. The MESSENGER mission has flown by Mercury three times, and is planned to land on the surface during 2010.
Names have nothing to do with a space mission. They are just an arbitrary way to keep track of each mission. Some of the names of the past are Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Surveyor, and Voyager. They all accomplished great things in space.
As of 2011, the Mariner 10 and MESSENGER missions have been the only missions that have made close observations of Mercury. MESSENGER made a flyby of Mercury on 14 January 2008, to further investigate the observations made by Mariner 10 in 1975.[2] A third mission to Mercury, BepiColombo, is to include two probes. BepiColombo is a joint mission between Japan and the European Space Agency. MESSENGER and BepiColombo are intended to gather complementary data to help scientists understand many of the mysteries discovered by Mariner 10's flybys.
There has never been a manned mission to Mercury to date.
Mercury is about 4.6 billion years old.
