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.
