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.
