(weather permitting)
The MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging
(MESSENGER) spacecraft mission to Mercury offers a new opportunity to
explore this intriguing solar system body. Fascinating new results
from the rapid flyby trajectories only whet our appetites for the data
that will be obtained when MESSENGER goes into orbit around Mercury in
2011. Learn about MESSENGER science team's strategy for obtaining
answers to the outstanding science questions surrounding this
fascinating planet.
Dr. Daniel Baker is Director of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and
Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado-Boulder and is a
co-investigator on NASA's Mercury MESSENGER mission.
