A lander called a "Rover".
The Mariner 10 probe studied the planet Mercury, which has a crater-pitted surface due to impacts from asteroids and comets over billions of years.
The Mariner 10 probe studied the planet Mercury, which has a heavily cratered surface due to impacts from asteroids and meteors. It is the smallest and closest planet to the Sun in our solar system.
Mercury
A planet's gravity affects the trajectory of a space probe by pulling it towards the planet, causing the probe to alter its course. The probe's speed and direction can be influenced by the planet's gravity, leading to changes in its orbit or flight path. Scientists must account for the planet's gravitational pull when planning the probe's trajectory to ensure it reaches its intended destination.

rover
A probe is a spacecraft designed to explore and gather information about a celestial body, typically by orbiting it or flying by it. A satellite is an object that orbits a larger body, such as a planet or a moon. A rover is a vehicle that is designed to move on the surface of a celestial body to explore it up close.
The Magellan probe was designed to study Venus. It went to Venus in 1994.
the difference between a probe and a lander is a lander is a spacecraft that desends and comes to rest on the surface of a planet/space object. while a probe is a device used to collect items and run tests to collect data.
Mercury was studied by the Mariner 10 Probe and has a crater pitted surface.

The MESSENGER probe, which was launched by NASA in 2004, was designed to study Mercury, the innermost planet in our solar system. After a series of flybys of Earth, Venus, and Mercury itself, MESSENGER entered orbit around Mercury in March 2011. Its mission focused on mapping the planet's surface, studying its magnetic field, and examining its geological history. MESSENGER concluded its mission in April 2015 after exhausting its fuel and impacting the surface of Mercury.
