Ver en NASA ↗After passing on the darkside of the planet, NASA Mariner 10 photographed the other, somewhat more illuminated hemisphere of Mercury. The north pole is at the top, two-thirds down from which is the equator.
Ver en NASA ↗This computer generated photomosaic from NASA Mariner 10 is of the southern half of Mercury Shakespeare Quadrangle, named for the ancient Shakespeare crater located on the upper edge to the left of center.
Ver en NASA ↗A dark, smooth, relatively uncratered area on Mercury was photographed two hours after NASA Mariner 10 flew by the planet. The prominent, sharp crater with a central peak is 30 kilometers 19 miles across.
Ver en NASA ↗This computer photomosaic is of the Caloris Basin, the largest basin on Mercury. NASA Mariner 10 spacecraft imaged the region during its initial flyby of the planet after its launch in 1974.
Ver en NASA ↗Cratered terrain very similar to that on the Moon is shown in this TV photo of Mercury taken by NASA Mariner 10. Numerous small craters and linear grooves radial to the crater can be seen.

Ver en NASA ↗During its flyby of Mercury, on January 14, 2008 NASA MESSENGER spacecraft acquired the first high-resolution spectra of the planet surface in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light.
Ver en NASA ↗As NASA MESSENGER spacecraft team continued to study the high-resolution images taken during the Mercury flyby encounter on January 14, 2008, scarps cliffs that extend for long distances were discovered.
Ver en NASA ↗The image shows part of a large, fresh crater with secondary crater chains located near Mercury equator on the side of the planet newly imaged on January 14, 2008 by NASA MESSENGER spacecraft.
Ver en NASA ↗This computer generated photomosaic from NASA Mariner 10 is of the southern half of Mercury Shakespeare Quadrangle, named for the ancient Shakespeare crater located on the upper edge to the left of center.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA MESSENGER spacecraft is stitched together from thousands of observations made over the past 4 years by the MASCS/UVVS instrument, which measures sunlight scattered off of Mercury tenuous atmosphere. Scattered sunlight gives the sodium a b…
Ver en NASA ↗Astronaut L. Gordon Cooper, Jr., one of the original seven astronauts for Mercury Project selected by NASA on April 27, 1959. The MA-9 mission, boosted by the Mercury-Atlas launch vehicle, was the last flight of the Mercury Project. The Faith 7 spacecraft orb…
Ver en NASA ↗This orthographic projection view from NASA MESSENGER spacecraft provides a look at Mercury north polar region. The yellow regions in many of the craters mark locations that show evidence for water ice, as detected by Earth-based radar observations.
Ver en NASA ↗A Mercury-Redstone launch vehicle awaits test-firing in the Redstone Test Stand during the late 1950s. Between 1953 and 1960, the rocket team at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama performed hundreds of test firings on the Redstone rocket, over 200 on the…
