The Mariner 10 probe was the first spacecraft to visit Mercury in the 1970s. It made three flybys of the planet in 1974 and 1975, capturing images and data that provided valuable insights into Mercury's surface and environment.

The first spacecraft to visit Mercury was Mariner 10, part of the Mariner program by NASA. It launched in 1973 and made three flybys of Mercury in 1974 and 1975, capturing close-up images of the planet.
Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have currently visited both.

No spacecraft has visited all the planets.
Pluto will be visited by the spacecraft New Horizon in 2015
A spacecraft visited in 2011, not 2012. There is currently one spacecraft in orbit around Mercury. NASA's MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) probe.It was launched on August 3, 2004 and entered orbit on March 18, 2011. NASA has announced that it will extend the mission longer in the harsh environments of Mercury.For more information check the MESSENGER wikipedia article.
