No spacecraft has ever landed on Mercury. A couple have orbited around the planet.
What year did the Messenger orbit around Mercury?
The Messenger spacecraft orbited around Mercury from 2011 to 2015, providing valuable data and insights about the planet's surface, composition, and magnetic field.
What is the name of the spacecraft the photographed Venus and Mercury?
the name of the first spacecraft to first observe venus was venera 3. The year it observed venus 1962.
What spacecraft have visited mercury?
Mariner 10 and Messenger have visited Mercury. BepiColombo by the ESA is planned to be launched in 2013. Mariner 10 provider the first close up photos of the planet. Messenger is "filling" in the gaps not accomplished by Mariner.

The Messenger spacecraft orbited around Mercury from 2011 to 2015, providing valuable data and insights about the planet's surface, composition, and magnetic field.
How long would it take to get to mercury in a rocket?
At the fastest current spacecraft speed (other than re-entry from the Moon), which is about 60000 km/hr, it would take at least 100 days to reach Mercury, depending on its position in its orbit. It could take as long as 120 days.Most space probes do not accelerate constantly, but use planetary gravity effects to speed up or slow down, which involves long, complex orbits taking a year or more. In this case, a spacecraft actually has to decelerate from the Earth's orbital speed (about 107,000 km/hr) to reach Venus or Mercury.
How long is mercury's year compared to earth's year?
Mercury take around 87.97 days to make one orbit of the sun, about 3 Earth months for one year on Mercury.
